Abstract

Networks are a convenient way to represent many interactions among ecological entities. The analysis of ecological networks is challenging for two reasons. First, there is a plethora of measures that can be applied (and some of them measure the same property). Second, the implementation of these measures is sometimes difficult. We present ’EcologicalNetworks.jl’, a package for the ‘Julia’ programming language. Using a layered system of types to represent several types of ecological networks, this packages offers a solid library of basic functions which can be chained together to perform the most common analyses of ecological networks.

Figure 2 Distribution of nestedness values for the empirical network (solid black line) and for random draws based on four null models. This analysis is frequently used to determine whether the nestedness of an observed network is significant.

Figure 3 Illustration of the network (upper-left corner), probabilistic network generated by the null model, and of eight random draws. The color of each node represents its degree, and the position of species is conserved across panels.

Figure 6 Functional roles of the species in the most modular partition found. All species score very low along both axes, making them 'peripherals' - this is a strong indication that the modular structure is not meaningful.

Figure 7 Output of 100 random extinction simulations, where the change in parasite richness was measured every timestep. This example shows how the basic functions of the package can be leveraged to build custom analyses rapidly.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
