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. |
