Fig. 5. Spatially embedded networks with long range interactions.

a i The local dimension (coloured nodes) of the 1994 world trade dataset ²⁴ (τ = 0.57). Countries are coloured according to their position in the world partition (grey countries not in dataset). ii Comparison of local dimension by world partition shows a decreasing local dimension as the countries become more peripheral. b The C. elegans connectome consisting of 279 neurons and 98 muscles coloured by neuron type/muscle are shown in i. In ii, the boxplots of local dimensions at large scale show that the neuron types statistically differ. All statistical tests were Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test two-sided with Bonferroni correction, ****p ≤ 0.0001).
