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.
