In-block nestedness reconciles structural dynamics of plant-pollinator networks by @aniellolampo.bsky.social at @cs3conference.bsky.social

What drives nestedness in phages–bacteria interactions network in an agro-ecosystem? 🌱

(Yes, that's a phage in those kinetics!)

In many professions, skills-development is nested: advanced skills depend on foundational-skills mastery. A recent paper in Nature Human Behavior mapped this nestedness, with implications for wage inequality and career mobility in increasingly complex labor markets.

20 years ago I started my Phd & read Bascompte et al. 2003 PNAS on the prevalence of nestedness for plant-pollinator networks. Today, we publish a piece confirming empirically (6 years of data; 12 sites) that the structure of interactions carries predictive power: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We studied how landscape & community structure shape species persistence under habitat loss.

Heterogeneous landscapes = high persistence under random loss but highly vulnerable to spatially correlated loss

Mutualistic community nestedness boosts persistence! 🌺🐝

Here, we discovered a nested phage-bacteria network despite their high genetic and ecological diversity. Kudos to everyone involved, especially @chloe-feltin.bsky.social !

Arnošt Šizling from @cts.cuni.cz and colleagues just published (online) a paper in Ecography showing that all pairwise community indices can be classified into only three meaningful families, and that the popular partitioning into nestedness and turnover makes no sense.

This is a more general issue in (network) community finding: nestedness is mingled with modularity & confusion. In 2011 we informally called it the "fibrous onion" problem (like an old turnip, with layers). Looking at link community overlap is a solution:

Nestedness means that people who know rare facts tend to also know the common ones. But not vice versa. It’s a pattern well known in ecology. Rare species only appear in rich ecosystems, while poor ones only have common species.

First: Knowledge was indeed nested. We applied standard metrics from ecology, like NODF and matrix temperature. All three domains—astronomy, history, superheroes—showed strong nestedness compared to shuffled matrices.

An alternative concept of sustainable development, based on the two-way flow of contributions between nature, the economy, and social systems, provides a theoretical foundation for an inclusive and diverse notion of #sustainability. 🧪
