Joseph A. LaManna, Amy B. Hemenway, Vanna Boccadori, and Thomas E. Martin. 2015. Bird species turnover is related to changing predation risk along a vegetation gradient. Ecology 96:1670–1680. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-1333.1

Appendix F. Changes in nest predation with both PC axes for bird species.

Table F1. Nest predation analyses for bird species in western Montana, USA. The χ² statistic and corresponding p value from likelihood ratio tests are presented for each PC axis (PCconiferand PCdeciduous), along with standardized effect sizes (standardized regression coefficients ± 1 SE), spatial scale of the relationship (forest stand, nesting territory, or nest-site), sample size of nests (n), and mean daily nest predation rate (DNPR) for each species. Significant effects (p < 0.05) are bolded and marginally significant effects (p < 0.10) are italicized. Bird species are ordered according to effect size of PC axes on density (see Appendix E).
