Aspects of the network as functions of the number of reproducing individuals in the family. (a) The variation of number of links per family in the network of families with number of reproducing individuals per family. The regions to which each of the points correspond are denoted by the labels. The dashed line is a linear regression fit. (b) For a family with a given number (x) of reproducing individuals in a given region, we count the total number of reproducing individuals in all the families (belonging to the same region) connected to it, and then divide by the number of connections (gives y). For each x we calculate the mean y. These values are shown as scatter plots for three different regions, namely, Uusimaa (circles), Pohjanmaa (triangles) and Pohjois-Pohjanmaa (squares). The dashed lines are linear regression fits for \(\log(y)\) versus \(\log(x)\), with slopes provided in the legend. Unlike in the case of Uusimaa, for Pohjanmaa and Pohjois-Pohjanmaa the slopes are significantly greater than zero
