Abstract

Graphical representation of biological and social networks have become more prevalent as the study of networks has increased. Wolfram Alpha and Facebook have demonstrated graph representations of social networks, but biologists are still seeking more ways to graphically demonstrate connections between species. I will introduce a graphical representation for ecological biologists using dot product graphs. These graphs use vectors to compare vertices and thus allow us to compare species based on n conditions.
