Data from: NOS: a software suite to compute node overlap and segregation in ecological networks
Investigating the structure of ecological networks can help unravel the mechanisms promoting and maintaining biodiversity. Recently, Strona and Veech (10.1111/2041-210X.12395) introduced a new metric (Ɲ ̅, pronounced ‘nos’), that allows assessment of structural patterns in networks ranging from comp...

Investigating the structure of ecological networks can help unravel the mechanisms promoting and maintaining biodiversity.

The Ɲ ̅ metric permits testing of a wide range of hypotheses regarding the tendency for species to share interacting partners by taking into account ecologically plausible species interactions based on constraints such as trophic levels and habitat preference.
