Appendix 1. List of communities used in this study. F=plant-bird dispersal webs; P=plant-pollinator webs; S=total number of species;
2
SA=number of animal species; SP=number of plant species; J=evenness; PIE=Hurlbert’s PIE; L=links ; L/S=links per species ;
3
N=nestedness; C=connectance. See Table 1 for definition of network metrics, and the “Links” sub-section in the section “Community
