   Notes: only significant variables are shown. We changed the order of entered variables as follows: Model 1: functional richness (entered fist), species richness (entered second), and abundance (entered third, followed by the interaction terms among the three variables); Model 2: species richness (entered first), functional richness (entered second), and abundance (entered third, followed by interaction terms); Model 3 (only significant for C. arabica): abundance (entered first), species richness (entered second), and functional richness (entered third, followed by interaction terms); Model 4 (only significant for C. arabica): abundance (entered first), functional richness (entered second), and species richness (entered third, followed by interaction terms). Results of the overall models are given in Table 1 of the main text.
