Notes: Spearman's rho was calculated using rank correlations (upper number), while 95% confidence intervals (in parentheses) were estimated using 1000 bootstraps, with replacement, on the original correlation using Systat. In no case do the confidence intervals reach the null hypothesis of 1 (i.e. no crossovers), indicating significant crossover interactions between all habitats.
