Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Untangling the seasonal dynamics of plant-pollinator communities (2020), Nature Communications. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-17894-y. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Identify distinct groups of species positions
   Used community detection methods to identify distinct groups of species positions based on alignment matrix, measuring basic node properties for each position type including species' relative degree and interaction measures.
   Quantities: Three distinct groups identified for pollinator positions and three for plant positionsDuration: Community detection analysis periodConditions: Computational analysis phase
   Equipment: community detection algorithms

Typical Equipment
