The observed and null assortment scores (averaged across all 6 years) are based on weighted networks, with values in bold indicating significance at α = 0.05. The permuted assortment represents the mean of 1000 randomizations according to the null model. Repeated links across years were deleted over 1000 randomizations and the median P value is reported (since this proved most robust to type I and II errors).
