Table 1. Proportion of mutualistic networks (N = 25) whose properties were reproduced by each model (NME<1; PKS<0.05)/proportion of networks in which each model was among the most likely.

NODF M PkA PkP
Cascade 0.84/0.84 0.88/0.84 0.96/0.52 1.00/0.76
Niche 0.80/0.84 0.52/0.44 1.00/0.88 0.96/0.60
MPN 0.60/0.68 0.56/0.60 0.84/0.64 1.00/0.64
BC 0.72/0.80 0.80/0.72 0.96/0.84 0.92/0.60

Columns represent the network properties analyzed: NODF  =  nestedness, M  =  modularity, PkA  =  cumulative degree distribution of animals, PkP  =  cumulative degree distribution of plants. Because more than one model could reproduce or be among the most likely models in reproducing the property of a given network the sum of the proportions in each column is larger than 1.
