TABLE 5.

Jaccard index values corresponding to the networks shown in Figure 5B.

j P(J ≤ j) P(J ≥ j)
Degree 0.389 0.77674 0.39149
Betweenness centrality 0.077 0.038537 0.995
Closeness centrality 0.000 0.132 1.000
Eigenvec. centrality 0.615 0.991 0.034655
Hub taxa 0.125 0.195 0.961

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 (Jj) 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 (Jj) is defined analogously. Jaccard index ranges from 0 (completely different) to 1 (sets equal).
