Furthermore, although the average degree and graph density representing the network complexity over the urbanization gradient were markedly reduced, the network modularity, representing functional units ( Luo et al., 2006 ) or niches ( Eiler et al., 2012 ), and keystone taxa numbers exhibited an increasing trend ( Figure 6C ).
