Analysis of the overall nestedness of the waterbird metacommunity studied during the breeding and wintering seasons.

Qualitative Matrix: the values are based on the overall qualitative matrix (a species presence or absence in a site within 28 years). Simulated T/NODF is in each case the average of 1000 Monte Carlo simulations run in ANINHADO. SD = standard deviation of simulated T. CI = 95% confidence interval of simulated T/NODF. Z = standardized effect size of T (see text). NODFr = Relative NODF (see text). Quantitative Matrix: the values are based on the overall quantitative matrix (an average of species abundance in a site within 28 years). Simulated WNODF is in each case the average of 1000 Monte Carlo simulations run with the NODF software. SD = standard deviation of simulated WNODF. CI = 95% confidence interval of simulated WNODF. Z' = standardized effect size of WNODF (see text).
