Figure 5: Relation between size and relative asymptotic amplitude.
From: Effect of localization on the stability of mutualistic ecological networks

(a) Relationship between the relative asymptotic amplitude (with respect to null model 1) and network size: attenuation increases for increasing community size (that is, decreases with S). (b) Asymptotic amplitude for perturbed empirical communities is compatible with that one generated by null model
. Indeed null model 2 generates networks with the same level of localization of the empirical pollinator networks (rIPR≈1), and thus attenuation is not observed. Red points correspond to the parametrization δ=0.5, while blue squares represent the mean-field case (δ=0).
