From: Robustness to extinction and plasticity derived from mutualistic bipartite ecological networks
Schematic extinction and rewiring scenarios of a bipartite graph. Node colors represent resources/consumer species: red nodes represent resources, blue ones represent consumers and grey nodes represent extinct nodes. Solid lines characterize interactions among consumers and resources and dashed lines characterize rewired interactions. Extinction scenarios: consumers lose their preferred resource by (R) random extinctions and (D) directed extinctions; Rewiring scenarios: (DR) directed extinction followed by random rewiring, and (RF) random extinction followed by resource affinity rewiring. The probability of extinction (left) or rewiring (right) of the resource nodes is encoded in the intensity of the color of the resource nodes (darker for higher probability), consumers have the same color because they are not actively rewired in our model.
