0083929MartinezAn interdisciplinary collaboration will apply recently developed techniques for analyzing computer networks to the study of complexity in large food webs. The focus of the research is the scaling of complexity with diversity, especially the statistical relationships between the numbers of nodes and links in Internet, WWW, and ecological networks. The strikingly robust patterns in the way network complexity scales with diversity along with the ability of this scaling relationship to underpin successful network models form the scientific basis of the collaboration. Recent insights into these scaling relationships have made fundamental advances in understanding networks. This project synergistically integrates scientists responsible for several of these advances to increase the scientific productivity of biocomplexity research. The project will use insights into the scaling of complexity to predict the relationship between diversity and the structure and function of ecological networks. Workshops will gather several researchers to exchange data and analytical methods to use computers to study both networks and models of networks as well as the effects of losing nodes and species on networks.

0083929 Martinezan跨学科合作将应用最近开发的技术来分析计算机网络，以研究大食物网中的复杂性。 这项研究的重点是与多样性的复杂性扩展，尤其是互联网，www和生态网络中节点和链接数量之间的统计关系。 网络复杂性尺度多样性以及这种扩展关系成功的网络成功网络模型的能力构成了协作的科学依据，这是网络复杂性缩放的尺寸以及这种缩放关系的能力。 对这些扩展关系的最新见解已在理解网络方面取得了根本的进步。 该项目协同整合了负责这些进步的科学家，以提高生物复杂性研究的科学生产力。 该项目将利用对复杂性规模的见解，以预测多样性与生态网络的结构和功能之间的关系。 研讨会将收集一些研究人员来交换数据和分析方法，以使用计算机来研究网络的网络和模型，以及丢失节点和物种对网络的影响。
