Index values j express the similarity of the sets of most central nodes and also of the sets of hub taxa between the two networks. “Most central” nodes are those with a centrality value above the empirical 75% quantile. Jaccard’s index is 0 if the sets are completely different and 1 for exactly equal sets. P (J ≤ j) is the probability that Jaccard’s index takes a value less than or equal to the calculated index j for the present total number of taxa in both sets and P (J ≥ j) is defined analogously. Jaccard index ranges from 0 (completely different) to 1 (sets equal).
