Figure 1

Simplified illustrations of some of the network architectures considered in this study. Different species are represented by shrubs of different colour shades. Coloured arrows represent an interaction (positive or negative) with a blue to orange colour gradient and an arrowhead representing the direction of the interaction. Note that the number of species and thus interactions in our study was much greater than those illustrated in these simplified illustrations, and that the networks in our study are closed systems.
