Example of localization in a real mutualistic community35 with S=78 species. The 61 insects and the 17 plants species are sorted according to degree. The flower species Leucanthemum vulgare is the most localized in each of the three eigenvectors, v1, u1 and wH and corresponds to the species with the highest species degree and strength. The parameters are δ=0.5 and γ0=1, yielding a stable but reactive equilibrium (λ1<0, λH>0).
