  3. Species degree: Number of links Species strength: sum of dependencies or interaction weights of animal species on that plant Ecological similarity (pairwise): The ecological similarity of any two species is defined as the number of species with which they both interact divided by the total number of species with which they interact

  4. Superior competitors will drive other species extinct, not identical competitors

  5. What happens if species are identical? What is equilibrium outcome?

  6. Stochastic dynamics drives one extinct if species are identical (or nearly so)

  13. Debate: in a small group defend or challenge this assertion: “The presence of a phylogenetic signal, where patterns of interactions between species can be partly explained by phylogenetic relatedness, would suggest that network patterns are partially dependent on past evolutionary history, and so cannot be exclusively explained by current ecological processes” (Rezende et al. 2007)
