Description

Calculation of interaction turnover between plant-pollinator networks at different sites by comparing shared taxa and their interaction frequencies. Produces metrics of rewiring occurrence and interaction similarity between communities.

Typical Equipment

  • computers
  • data analysis software

Output Measurements

  • rewiring occurrence
  • interaction similarity
