Use hypergraphs to create foodweb models which include non-trophic effects

EcologicalHypergraphs.jl

EcologicalHypergraphs.jl allows you to do ecology using hypergraphs. Currently, it supports using hypergraphs do create large dynamical foodweb models which can incorporate non-trophic effects. In the future, it will support statistical study of these hypergraphs as well. It may also support embedding these hypergraphs in spatial networks in the future to facilitate metacommunity models.

Getting started

This package isn't yet in the Julia general registry. You can still install it directly from this git repository.

] add github.com/jkharv/EcologicalHypergraphs.jl

Examples

There are examples in the example directory of this repository.

Integration with other packages

• SimpleHypergraphs.jl
  • Conversion functions are planned for converting to and from SimpleHypergraphs.jl types.

EcologicalNetworks.jl

EcologicalHypergraphs.jl currently has constructors for creating hypergraphs from EcologicalNetworks.jl types, allowing access to all the structural models that it provides. We will eventually include functions that can project hypergraphs into pairwise graphs using EcologicalNetworks.jl types, allowing the use of existing analysis tools in the package.

Symbolics.jl

Dynamical models done in EcologicalHypergraphs.jl are specified using Symbolics.jl. You can do anything that Symbolics.jl allows you to do to the resultant model.

ModelingToolkit.jl

Symbolics.jl is used via ModelingToolkit.jl meaning that parameters are tagged differently than variables and creating numerical systems ModelingToolkit.jl does all of its usual symbolic manipulations on the system.
