  1. All possible combinations of variables identified as significant from the hierarchical partitioning approach (see Supplementary Table 5) were evaluated using linear models. Models that contained highly collinear variables (Pearson’s |r| > 0.7) were excluded. The ranking of the models is based on the corrected Akaike’s information criterion (AICc). We retained only models with ΔAICc ≤ 5 compared to the best model (ΔAIC = 0) for each spatial scale. Residual spatial autocorrelation was computed for each retained explanatory model across spatial scales using Moran’s I and 10,000 simulations (P value).
