Linking seed networks and crop diversity contributions to people: A case study in small-scale farming systems in Sahelian Senegal

CONTEXT Small farms rely on a range of nature's contributions to people (NCPs) provided by crop diversity, covering both material and immaterial dimensions that are crucial for livelihoods and well-being. The maintenance of these NCPs over time, …

Taking a moment to measure networks—an approach to species conservation

Context Network-theoretic tools contribute to understanding real-world system dynamics, such as species survival or spread. Network visualization helps illustrate structural heterogeneity, but details about heterogeneity are lost when summarizing …

Knowledge generation via social-knowledge network co-evolution: 30 years (1990–2019) of adaptation, mitigation and transformation related to climate change

Knowledge production is a co-evolutionary process where scientific topics and concepts are debated, discussed and assessed between scientists. We assess, we analyze, we “interpret” the world, and, at the same time, we communicate with one another, …

Do-it-yourself networks: a novel method of generating weighted networks

© 2017 The Authors. Network theory is finding applications in the life and social sciences for ecology, epidemiology, finance and social– ecological systems. While there aremethods to generate specific types of networks, the broad literature is …

Landscape connectivity and predator–prey population dynamics

Landscapes are increasingly fragmented, and conservation programs have started to look at network approaches for maintaining populations at a larger scale. We present an agent-based model of predator–prey dynamics where the agents (i.e. the …
