A unifying framework for fast randomization of ecological networks with fixed (node) degrees

The Curveball algorithm is an efficient and unbiased procedure for randomizing bipartite networks (or their matrix counterpart) while preserving node degrees. Here we introduce two extensions of the procedure, making it capable to randomize also unimode directed and undirected networks. We provide f...
