Many real-world complex networks actually have a bipartite nature: their nodes may be separated into two classes, the links being between nodes of different classes only. Despite this, and despite the fact that many ad-hoc tools have been…

Mapping network flows provides insight into the organization of networks, but even though many real-networks are bipartite, no method for mapping flows takes advantage of the bipartite structure. What do we miss by discarding this…
