Abstract
Since the level of disturbance rapidly increases in our environment due to unprecedented population aggregation and industrial development, revealing temporal development in ecological processes is critically important (e.g., long-term evaluation of global warming, changes in community dynamics in pollution, response behaviors to toxic chemicals). Various models used in temporal networks are selected from artificial neural networks, and feasibility in analyzing complex temporal data is discussed through supervised and unsupervised learning processes in this article. In addition, some selected examples are provided to demonstrate application of temporal networks to ecological and behavioral data.
