Introducing the bipartite Package: Analysing Ecological Networks
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The new R-package bipartite, introduced here, provides functions to viualise webs and calculate a series of indices commonly used to describe pattern in ecological webs, focusing on webs consisting of only two trophic levels, e.g. pollination webs or predator-prey-webs.
