Extended Data Fig. 7: Original and bootstrap-standardized values of among-module connectivity.

Extended Data Fig. 7

For respective species within the meta-network representing all the interactions observed through the eight months (Fig. 5), the original and bootstrap-standardized values of among-module connectivity are shown on the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. In the bootstrap analysis, the prey repertoire of each spider individual was bootstrap-sampled from the sample-level matrix in each month, subsequently converted into species-level matrices (1,000 interations). The bootstrapped species-level matrices of the eight months were then integrated as bootstrapped meta-network matrices for comparison with the original meta-network structure. Note that bootstrap-standardized values were unavailable for network vertices whose among-module connectivity were consistently zero across the bootstrapping.
