Hello,
I have constructed a plant-pollinator network and would like to conduct a
modularity analysis using the algorithm developed by Guimera and Amaral
(2005) and the thresholds assigned by Olesen et al. (2007). In researching
functions to accomplish this in R, I found the netcarto function in
'rnetcarto' package AND the czvalues function in the 'bipartite' package.
Both functions state they use the previously mentioned formulae and
thresholds. I am hoping to gather insight on which one is best to use. The
results produced by both functions are close in values but given the
assigned thresholds (c>0.62, z>2.5 determine whether the lower trophic
level species can be connectors or hubs) make a huge difference in my
conclusions if they are right around these thresholds. Can anyone provide
insight into which function is best suited for this particular analysis?
Please send response to [email protected]
Thank you,
