Network properties of 16 epiphyte-tree networks measured in old-growth and disturbed forest fragments (four forest fragments, four sites per fragment).

T =  number of tree species.
E =  number of epiphyte species.
L =  number of links. C = 
network connectance. N =  network nestedness.
P =  probability that the observed nestedness
belongs to the distribution of null-model nestedness, based on Bascompte
et al. 's [1] type 2 null model. NODF
 =  Almeida-Neto et al. 's nestedness metric
[40], based on overlap and decreasing fill. Er
 =  absolute random null model. Ce
 =  equiproblable null model. “Forest
fragment” networks are based on pooled data from its four
replicate sites. For “individual networks” (replicate
sites), ranges of values and the proportion of significant P-values
(P<0.05) are shown.
