Records of the non-native alga (Rhodophyta) and their colonial epibionts in La Paz Bay, Gulf of California.

, a red alga considered an alien species, was discovered for the first time on the Pacific coast of Mexico in 2006 from a locality inside La Paz Bay, Gulf of California. Since then, more records have shown its presence, 17 localities having been added up to 2015. A two-year field study (2020-2022) visiting 31 sites along the coast of La Paz Bay, complemented with data from literature and citizen science, resulted in a database of 709 entries that spans the data from 2004 to 2023.

Parametric controllability of the personalized PageRank: Classic model vs biplex approach.

Measures of centrality in networks defined by means of matrix algebra, like PageRank-type centralities, have been used for over 70 years. Recently, new extensions of PageRank have been formulated and may include a personalization (or teleportation) vector. It is accepted that one of the key issues for any centrality measure formulation is to what extent someone can control its variability.

A biplex approach to PageRank centrality: From classic to multiplex networks.

In this paper, we present a new view of the PageRank algorithm inspired by multiplex networks. This new approach allows to introduce a new centrality measure for classic complex networks and a new proposal to extend the usual PageRank algorithm to multiplex networks. We give some analytical relations between these new approaches and the classic PageRank centrality measure, and we illustrate the new parameters presented by computing them on real underground networks.

A new method for comparing rankings through complex networks: model and analysis of competitiveness of major European soccer leagues.

In this paper, we show a new technique to analyze families of rankings. In particular, we focus on sports rankings and, more precisely, on soccer leagues. We consider that two teams compete when they change their relative positions in consecutive rankings.
