Classes of networks realized in different regions of (λ, ζ)-space. Multiscale networks occupy a broad interior region of space, whereas random (R), random interdivisional (RID), local team (LT), and core-periphery (CP) networks arise when one or both parameters approach their limiting values. Technically, the upper limit for both λ and ζ is ∞, and these limits would typically be approximated by numbers sufficiently larger than the maximums of xij and Dij. However, because λ and ζ only set the order in which links are likely to be chosen, and hence are nontrivially related to the resulting networks, these parameters effectively reach ∞ at values less than the maximums of xij and Dij.
