基于多中心性指标相似度融合的鱼类相对重要性评估方法

A Method for Assessing the Relative Importance of Fish Based on Multi-centrality Index Similarity Fusion

  • 摘要: 作为海洋生态系统的关键组成部分,鱼类在食物网中的相对重要性直接影响着整个生态系统的稳定性。目前已使用了多个复杂网络中心性指标如Katz指数、PPR指数等来评估鱼类的重要性,但这些指标侧重点各不相同,为确保不同中心性指标对鱼类重要性刻画的适用性,并能够综合评价鱼类对食物网稳定性的影响,本研究系统性定义了包括鱼类度中心性、鱼类信息中心性等的鱼类中心性指标,并提出一种多中心性指标相似度融合(Multi-centrality Index Similarity Fusion, MISF)方法。该方法构建包含多种网络中心性指标的鱼类特征矩阵,提出基于余弦相似度、欧氏距离和相对熵融合的鱼类相似度计算并使用熵权法确定各指标权重,最终实现鱼类综合重要性排序。本文以2016—2018年珠江口海域鱼类捕食关系网数据为研究对象,开展了鱼类重要性评估,实验结果表明,与Katz指数、PPR指数等方法相比,该方法可以有效评估鱼类在食物网中的相对重要性。在2016和2018年数据集中,MISF方法的精确率和召回率分别达到1.0和0.5,显著优于其他方法,而在2017年数据集中,尽管网络规模增大导致精确率略低于Katz和PPR指数,但召回率表现更佳。此外,根据鱼类在食物网中的不同重要性级别,讨论了它们由于数量变动对网络稳定性产生的影响差异。本研究为鱼类资源管理提供了新的视角。

     

    Abstract: As a key component of Marine ecosystems, the relative importance of fish in the food web directly affects the overall stability of the ecosystem. At present, several complex network centrality indicators such as Katz index and PPR index have been used to assess the importance of fish, though each focuses on different aspects. In order to ensure the applicability of different centrality indicators in characterizing the importance of fish and to comprehensively evaluate the impact of fish on food web stability, this study, systematically defines fish centrality indicators including fish degree centrality and fish information centrality, and propose a Multi-centrality Index Similarity Fusion (MISF) method. This method constructs a fish characteristic matrix containing multiple network centrality indicators, proposes fish similarity calculation based on cosine similarity, Euclidean distance and relative entropy fusion, and uses the entropy weight method to determine the weight of each index, ultimately generating a comprehensive ranking of fish importance. Based on the data of fish predation network in the Pearl River Estuary from 2016 to 2018, this paper carried out the assessment of fish importance. Experimental results show that compared with Katz index, PPR index and other methods, the proposed method can effectively evaluate the relative importance of fish in the food web. In addition, according to the different importance levels of fish in the food web, the differences in the impact of fish population fluctuation on the stability of the network were discussed. This study provides a new perspective for fish resource management.
