3Value of the test statistic for the comparison between the species-specific network and the intersection network, z = (zf1-zf2)/sqrt(1/(n1–3)+1/(n2–3)) where zf is the Fisher transform, zf = 1/2*ln((1+r)/(1-r))

4Level of significance, i.e., probability that the correlations in the intersection and species-specific networks are indistinguishable, based on normal distribution with infinite degrees of freedom
