Network cartography and profiles of network centralities. a–c Species are assigned roles in the network. The metrics to assess the roles in the sub-community include within-module degree, which measures how well a particular species is connected to others in the same sub-community (module), and among-module connectivity, which measures how a species is linked to other modules in the network. Species are classified as hub connectors, hub kinless, non-hub connector, non-hub kinless, peripheral, provincial, and ultra-peripheral [23]. d Temporal evolution of degree centrality in the co-occurrence networks of the different groups. e Temporal evolution of betweenness centrality in the co-occurrence networks of the different groups. f Temporal evolution of the formation of edges in the networks of the different groups. The grey zones in d–f represent the period after treatment
