Figure S3. Observed Spearman’s correlation coefficients (blue dots) for relationships between temporal (“Years”, “Days”) and spatial (“Plots”) persistence variables and the proximity to the core of the nested network. Observed Spearman’s correlation coefficients are compared to those from null models shown in gray. Clouds of rings represent 1000 randomizations, gray dots in the center of the clouds represent mean values while segments approximate 95% CIs (mean ± 2 × SD).
