Figure S4. Temporal change in a)subdiscipline diversity from 1990 - 2012 with b) terms and c) subdisciplines associated with each concept. Subdiscipline diversity was estimated for each concept in each time window as the effective number of species for the probability of interspecific encounter (ENSpie). Concepts were grouped into those whose change in subdiscipline diversity between 1990 and 2012 was stable, decreasing (lower 10th percentile), or increasing (upper 10th quantile). Probability (φkw) refers to the probability of a term occurring in a particular concept (re-scaled for visualization), and weight is the number of articles in a given subdiscipline (scaled to facilitate comparisons with other concepts). To see terms and disciplines associated with a particular concept in a given time window, select the the concept in panel a). interdisciplinary of concepts from 1990 - 2012 with b) terms and c) subdisciplines associated with each concept. Interdisciplinarity is calculated for each concept in each time window as the Rao-Stirling index using cosine similarity. Concepts were grouped into those whose change in interdisciplinarity between 1990 and 2012 was stable, decreasing (lower 10th percentile), or increasing (upper 10th quantile). Probability (φkw) refers to the probability of a term occurring in a particular concept (re-scaled for visualization), and weight is the number of articles in a given subdiscipline (scaled to facilitate comparisons with other concepts. To see terms and disciplines associated with a particular concept in a given time window, select the the concept in panel a).
