Ecological networks: information theory meets Darwin's entangled bank.

Jose M Montoya1, Gabriel Yvon-Durocher.   

Abstract

Is it possible to untangle the 'entangled bank'--Darwin's metaphor for the complexity and connectedness of species in the natural world? Studies on webs of species interactions suggest so, but a major question remains unanswered: how specialized are different ecological networks? By considering how strongly species interact with each other, information theory may give the answer.
