From: Robustness to extinction and plasticity derived from mutualistic bipartite ecological networks
Correlation of the average effective modularity with the original modularity, nestedness, the normalized largest degree, and robustness. The average effective modularity is calculated over all extinction fractions and rewiring values in \(p\in [0,1]\). It correlates positively with (a) the modularity of the original network and (d) the robustness averaged for all rewiring parameters. The correlation is negative with (b) nestedness (measured as NODF60) and with (c) the normalized largest degree of the original network. Values are obtained for directed extinction and resource affinity adaptation. PP (red asterisks): plant-pollinator networks; SD (blue circles): seed dispersal networks; PA (green diamonds): plant-ant networks; Coral Reef (purple stars).
