Abstract
MUNGUIA-ROSAS, Miguel A.; MONTIEL, Salvador and CASTILLO, María T.. Redes, Ecología y Ciencias Sociales: las redes complejas en Ecología Humana. Ecol. austral [online]. 2013, vol.23, n.2, pp.135-142. ISSN 1667-782X.
Networks, Ecology and Social Sciences: the complex network approach in Human Ecology: Complex networks have long been a powerful tool to assess theoretical and practical issues in Social Sciences and Ecology. Although Human Ecology emerged from these disciplines, the complex network approach has been underutilized in this field. This issue is particularly worrying because the complex network approach may help to understand and work out some socio-environmental challenges faced by conservationists. In this paper we revised the theoretical basis and applications of networks in Ecology and Social Sciences as well some novel and potential applications in Human Ecology. Our main goal is to increase awareness of academics and decision makers in the socio-environmental area regarding the applications of complex networks.
