Content

This repo contains all supplementary material from our paper, including processed data and code.

Recently, we've updated and improved the database used in our analysis, and published it as a new data paper. Check out its new repo.

Specialized codes

In this paper we used a combination of codes produced in our lab to run different kinds of numerical and graphical analysis. These codes have been further developed since the paper was published. Now their stand-alone versions are available in other repos:

  1. multilayer-networks

  2. network-drawing

  3. network-significance

  4. Restricted-Null-Model

  5. ihsmodel

Acknowledgments

We are deeply grateful to all naturalists who carried out fieldwork in the Neotropics over several decades and collected the information used to build our dataset. Judith Bronstein gave invaluable suggestions for an early draft of this study. Paulo Guimarães Jr., Tiago Quental, and Thomas Lewinsohn discussed with us the assembly rules of interaction networks. Pedro Jordano, Carsten Dormann, and Katherine Ognyanova gave us invaluable tips on how to analyze and draw networks in R. Mark White and the StackOverflow community helped us build the model used in the latent variable analysis. MARM was funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP: 2018/20695-7), Research Dean of the University of São Paulo (PRP-USP: 18.1.660.41.7), Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq: 302700/2016-1), Minas Gerais Research Foundation (FAPEMIG: PPM-00324-15), and Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH: 3.4-8151/15037). GMF and RBPP received scholarships from the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and CNPq through the Graduate School in Ecology of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (ECMVS). RLM received scholarships from FAPESP (2015/17739-4, 2017/01816-0). SES was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF-1456375). NL received a scholarship from CNPq and The World Academy of Sciences (312518/2015-3).
