Extended Data Fig. 4: Introduced interactions reduce modularity of local networks.
From: Accelerating homogenization of the global plant–frugivore meta-network
Model estimates from mixed effects quantile regression, using random intercepts by study location. Points (jittered along x axis) show null model-corrected modularity calculated for 395 local networks as the difference between observed modularity and the average modularity of five corresponding networks generated under a null model. Coefficient estimates (±s.e.m.) at the 5th, 50th and 95th percentiles are, for the intercept, β0,5 = –0.050 (±0.005), β0,50 = 0.012 (±0.004), β0,95 = 0.130 (±0.019), and, for the effect of the proportion of introduced interactions, β1,5 = –0.009 (±0.020), β1,50 = –0.029 (±0.016), β1,95 = –0.079 (±0.037).
