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.
