A paragraph added during the revision does some comparison, but it is not integrated with the rest of the paper and neither does it demonstrate the usefulness or added value of the new measure. For the most part, the paper rather compares values of one standard measure of modularity with values for the new metric in an example dataset of 290 unipartite and bipartite food webs. Using one method of module assignment, the paper shows how the two metrics are related to each other, to randomizations of the webs, and to network connectance. The meaning of these relationships for the study purpose is unclear.
