Mapping species resilience based on critical slowing-down (CSD) indicators. Each node represents a species in the plant–pollinator community from Fig. 1. Species are ranked according to their order of extinction (from Left to Right), their size corresponds to the number of their interactions (degree), and are colored according to their changes in CV before the onset of community collapse. Black colors indicate strong increases in CV. We used color boxes to group species that went coextinct. We found a positive correlation between the magnitude of the CV change and the order of species extinctions. Similar patterns were confirmed in all 79 communities (Fig. S4). This information can be used to rank species risk to extinction.
