Ecological networks proposed by Venner et al. 2017 which can capture the relationship complexity between species (nodes) and its connections by HTT (edges). Nodes and edges attributes can take into account the importance of a species as HTT hub, the particular presence of HTT catalyzers as parasites (arthropod and viruses), the intensity and directionality of HTT events as well as the type of ecological relationships existing between species
