Michio Kondoh, Satoshi Kato, and Yoshikuni Sakato. 2010. Food webs are built up with nested subwebs. Ecology 91:3123–3130.

Appendix B. Species richness and nestedness of ecological networks.


FigB1
 

   FIG. B1. Species richness and nestedness (N) of 31 representative food webs (triangles and circles in red or blue) and 59 mutualistic networks (open circles). Red and blue circles are for guild webs with significant and nonsignificant nestedness, respectively. Red and blue triangles represent complex webs with significant and nonsignificant nestedness, respectively.


 

FigB2
 
   FIG. B2. Species richness and nestedness (NODF) of subwebs extracted from 10 guild webs: Altuda Grassland (AG), Marathon Grassland (MG), British Prunus (BP), Finnish Prunus (FP), Cabana (Cb), Cordoba Zoo (CA), Silwood 1 (Sl1), Belize (Bl), Hokkaido Forest (HF) and Silwood 2 (Sl2). Red and yellow circles represent significantly nested subwebs with positive and negative residuals of a log-log least squares linear regression of link number against species number, respectively; green and blue circles represent nonsignificantly nested subwebs with positive and negative residuals, respectively.

 

FigB3
 
   FIG. B3. Species richness and nestedness (NODF) of subwebs extracted from 21 complex webs: Benguela (Bn), Bridge Brook Lake (BBL), Canton Creek (CC), Caribbean Reef 1 (CR1), Caribbean Reef 2 (CR2), Chesapeake Bay (CB), Coachella Valley (CV), El Verde (EV), Little Rock Lake (LRL), Northeast US Shelf (NUS), Scotch Broom (SB), Skipwith Pond (SP), St. Mark's Estuary (SME), St. Martin Island (SMI), Stony Stream (SS), Ythan Estuary 1-2 (YE1, 2), Maspalamos Lagoon 1-3 (ML1-3) and UK Grass (UG). Red and yellow circles represent significantly nested subwebs with positive and negative residuals of a log-log least squares linear regression of link number against species number, respectively; green and blue circles represent nonsignificantly nested subwebs with positive and negative residuals, respectively.
