Black circles represent the observed data. Colored rectangles represent the 95% confidence intervals from 10,000 randomly simulated interactions between shrimp-shrimp (red), crab-shrimp (purple) or crab-crab (blue) assemblages generated with the unconstrained null model M1, the ‘frequency’ constrained model M2 and the ‘richness’ constrained model M3 (see methods for a description of the models).
