Table 1. Aggregation types of individual species networks into a single composite network, and their correlation coefficient with the sum of individual species’ restoration priorities (varPC).

See methods for further details on the aggregation procedures for nodes and links.

Aggregation type Node attributes Link probabilities Spearman's r
A Node attribute sum (Eq 4) Mean (Eq 6) 0.906
B Node attribute sum (Eq 4) Mean weighted by mean habitat (Eq 7) 0.968
C Node attribute sum (Eq 4) Mean weighted by habitat product (Eq 8) 0.966
D Node attribute sum (Eq 4) Mean weighted by habitat product but normalized by intra-patch connectivity (Eq 9) 0.966
E Sum of the intra-patch connectivity (Eq 5) Mean (Eq 6) 0.925
F Sum of the intra-patch connectivity (Eq 5) Mean weighted by mean habitat (Eq 7) 0.976
G Sum of the intra-patch connectivity (Eq 5) Mean weighted by habitat product (Eq 8) 0.965
H Sum of the intra-patch connectivity (Eq 5) Mean weighted by habitat product but normalized by intra-patch connectivity (Eq 9) 0.966
