Table 1. List of species analysed, their out and in degrees, total original range size (in pixels), and proportion of their ranges occupied by their preys and predators (values between 0 and 1).
Species are sorted according to the groups identified by Baskerville et al. (2011). Notice how some species are isolated in the network (Loxodonta africana) and how Canis aureus’s range does not overlap with any of its preys.
