Networks of co-operative interactions occur in both ecological and socio-economic situations, with plant pollination by animals and interactions between manufacturing and contracting companies being respective examples. This work proposes a parsimonious model for co-operative networks that predicts the specific properties of real ecological and socio-economic networks, demonstrating that similar principles of co-operation might underlie both situations.
