Note: For each meso-sector network, indicated with its relative code (in columns), we report the number of components generated after deleting 5% of random nodes in the network (first row), and the ratio between the number of nodes in the giant component isolated after node deletion (second row), the number of components generated after deleting 5% of topmost connected nodes in the network (third row), and the ratio between the number of nodes in the giant component isolated after node deletion (fourth row). For a more detailed description of this procedure, refer to Sect.5.3. The meso-sector relative to a code is indicated in Sect.4
