Fig. 4: Venn diagrams showing the relative contributions (%) of our main predictor variables to explaining the variation in interaction dissimilarity (βWN), calculated using deviance partitioning.
Overlapping areas represent deviance that is jointly explained by one or more predictor variables. a The relative contributions of ecoregion, biome, spatial and human disturbance (i.e., footprint) distances. In b, we replace human disturbance distance with elevational difference; we show these two separate diagrams for visualization purposes, but Supplementary Fig. 12 shows the effect of all our main predictor variables together. Note that we only plot our predictor variables of interest (i.e., not those used for controlling sampling effects). Terms that reduce explanatory power are not shown. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
