From: Robustness to extinction and plasticity derived from mutualistic bipartite ecological networks
Effective modularity for the different extinction-adaptation scenarios. (Top) The effective modularity, where the modularity is defined as Eq. (5), is represented in a color scale from Qe = 0 (blue) to Qe = 0.5 (red), in each panel the x-axis is the fraction of extinction events and the y-axis the rewiring probability r. Each column displays the results for each data set. From left to right: Andean scrub, Montane forest, Coral Reef, Atlantic Forest, Rain forest (see Table 1); each row corresponds to the four extinction-adaptation dynamics. From top to bottom: RR, random extinction-random rewiring, RF, random extinction-resource affinity driven rewiring, DR, directed extinction-random rewiring, and DF, directed extinction-resource affinity driven rewiring. (Bottom) The difference of the effective modularity for DF and DR for the same ecosystem. Results are averaged over 100 realizations of the extinction-adaptation sequences for the different scenarios.
