Insights on the assembly rules of a continent-wide multilayer network

M. A. R. Mello, G. M. Felix, R. B. P. Pinheiro, R. L. Muylaert, C. Geiselman, S. Santana, M. Tschapka, N. Lotfi, F. Rodrigues, R. D. Stevens

The paper investigates assembly rules of a multilayer network of bat-plant interactions in the Neotropics, revealing scale-dependent processes shaping network topology.

A new model explaining the origin of different topologies in interaction networks

R. B. P. Pinheiro, G. M. F. Felix, C. F. Dormann, M. A. R. Mello

The paper presents a mechanistic model explaining the origin of different topologies in interaction networks through specialization and trade-offs, showing nested and compound topologies based on diversity and resource dissimilarity.

The compound topology of a continent-wide interaction network explained by an integrative hypothesis of specialization

G. M. Felix, R. B. P. Pinheiro, R. Poulin, B. R. Krasnov, M. A. R. Mello

The paper confirms predictions of an integrative hypothesis by showing nested modules in host-parasite networks and a scale-dependent relationship between parasite generalism and performance.
