Null model: What is meant by generality/successors and vulnerability/predecessors?

tpoisot commented 11 years ago

Number of successors and predecessors are the number of nodes, respectively, receive interactions from, or establish interaction towards, the focal node. This is ususally refered to as generality (number of preys, for example) and vulnerability (number of predators). This terminology was introduced by Schoener. I clarified the text, and added the relevant reference.
