From: Robustness to extinction and plasticity derived from mutualistic bipartite ecological networks
Transformation of the coral microalgal community structure over time (Table 1) after each extinction-adaptation event: (a) RR, Random species extinction - Random links adaptation; (b) RF, Random species extinction - Resource Affinity links adaptation; (c) DR, Directed species extinction - Random links adaptation; and (d) DF, Directed species extinction - Resource Affinity links adaptation. Each of the colored streams represents a species in the network. The columns formed by grey boxes stand for moments between extinction-adaptation events and the boxes encapsulate the species in the same community. The color of each species matches to which community they belonged initially. For each step the communities are ordered so that crossings among streams are minimized. The rewiring probability is r = 1.
