Overall, the level of invasion has a weak influence on pollination network structure and seems to be associated with only one metric, H 2 ′ which measures the level of selectiveness; thus, as invasion progresses, species in the network appear to become more selective in their choice of partners, interacting with less abundant species more than would be expected by chance.
We derive two simple necessary conditions for selective dependence of (A,B) on (x,y), which can be used to conduct a potential infinity of selectiveness tests.
The great thing about the Rule of Law is its lack of selectiveness; in other words, the Rule of Law applies to everyone regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status, or political affiliation.
Overall, in contrast to a running time slowdown of 3.2%, we observe 68.5% of selectiveness improvement on average.
These 3 degenerated cases are discarded from the subsequent running time analysis, but not discarded from the analysis of selectiveness.
Studies have shown that the older the persons are, the higher the number of drop outs, leading to a risk of selectiveness [ 39].
Since the running times of the three methods are basically comparable, due to its much better performances in terms of selectiveness, EXCELLENT* is clearly to be preferred for this data set instead of FINE* and GOOD*.
Both pollinators and plants had a similar level of selectiveness in their flower or pollinator use, respectively, and were also equally important to the plant or pollinator communities, respectively, in the two islands and in the three habitats.
However, the fact that alien pollinators also showed lower levels of selectiveness than endemic pollinators implies that they tend to visit more abundant flower resources compared with endemic pollinators, which visit even rare flowers.
= 1, P = 0.057); a high fraction of alien flowers in the community was positively associated with higher H 2 ′ (Fig. 3), i.e. with higher levels of selectiveness or niche differentiation, implying that species tended to visit (pollinators) or be visited (plants) by partners more frequently than expected from the relative abundances of the latter.
