The paper investigates how network architectures influence coevolutionary dynamics and adaptation in ecological communities through simulations across empirical and artificial networks.

This paper introduces Ecological Coherence (EC) and Ecological Network Coherence (ENC) to analyze how species co-responses to environmental changes are structured and how they predict ecological instability.

The paper simulates food web evolution to study how phylogenetic signal in trophic structure changes over time and examines its relationship with species network positions and diversification dynamics.

The paper examines how urbanization affects plumage colorfulness in tropical birds, finding that megacolorful species are less common in highly urbanized areas.

The paper uses spectral graph theory to analyze the spliceosome network's fragility to cascading effects, showing modular path concentration promotes robustness but may increase subunit vulnerability.
