Data and code from: Determinants of species’ centrality in spatially-connected plant-frugivore networks

Species’ characteristics, such as their capacity to disperse great distances or to interact with many partners, may determine their ability to propagate impacts within and across communities. These spatial and interaction-related processes may have synergistic or opposing influences on a species’ ability to connect with others, but typical analyses of ecological networks may not be able to disentangle these effects. Here, we explored how the way in which a plant-frugivore metanetwork is described influences our perception of the species that can most impact others via direct and indirect effects. Specifically, we tested whether the ranking of bird species’ centrality and its relationship with species’ characteristics depend on whether spatial distance and dispersal constraints are depicted in the metanetwork. To do this, we described a metanetwork comprising 29 local frugivory networks from the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado subrealm of Brazil using a gradient of spatial information, from ..., , , # Data and code: Determinants of species’ centrality in spatially-connected plant-frugivore networks

## Description of dataframe files:

#### dataframe\_scaled\_model (from 1 to 5):

* *species*: Scientific name of the bird species
* *type*: Categorical variable describing the type of metanetwork (based on the approach used to generate the metanetwork):
* aggregated (aggregated/monolayer metanetwork)
* homogeneous (homogeneous multilayer network with interlayer links = 0.5)
* exponential (spatially-explicit multilayer network in which interlayer links are calculated using an exponential function)
* dispersal (dispersal explicit-multilayer network)
* dispersal_bird (dispersal-explicit multilayer network with only birds as interlayer links)
* dista...
