In nos: Compute Node Overlap and Segregation in Ecological Networks

#' A sample food-web network from the boreal region of the Barents Sea
#'
#' The sample network is a marine food web from the boreal region of the Barents
#' Sea. The Barents Sea is a large, open sub-arctic shelf sea bordering the
#' Arctic Ocean. The sample food web contains 180 trophospecies, consisting of
#' detritus, 8 basal taxa, 32 zooplankton, 66 benthic, 56 fish, 8 sea birds and
#' 9 marine mammal, and 1546 feeding interactions.

#' @usage data(boreal)
#' @format A data frame with 2 columns and 1546 rows. Each row is a node pair
#'    where the first element of each node pair is 'consumed' (or pollinated
#'    etc) by the second element.
#' @source Kortsch, S. et al. 2015. Climate change alters the structure of
#'    arctic marine food webs due to poleward shifts of boreal generalists.
