Ranking of critical species to preserve the functionality of mutualistic networks using the k-core decomposition

Background Network analysis has become a relevant approach to analyze cascading species extinctions resulting from perturbations on mutualistic interactions as a result of environmental change. In this context, it is essential to be able to point out key species, whose stability would prevent cascad...
