Before revision:  We describe why these objects have some interesting applications to symplectic geometry and discuss how their biological interpretation motivates new problems in Floer theory, mirror symmetry, and the study of  D-K \"{a}hler manifolds . Since many questions in complex network theory can be translated into the topological setting, this paper therefore serves to bring a selection of ideas from biology to pure mathematics .
