Extended Data Fig. 2

Models were run using a, observed species richness and b, estimated species richness. Productivity was calculated in four ways, assuming: no difference in Kmax between rat-free versus rat-infested islands (‘0%’), 10% higher Kmax around rat-free islands, 25% higher Kmax around rat-free islands, and 45% higher Kmax around rat-free islands (see Methods). Separate models were run for each productivity estimate, and colours represent these different models. Points represent scaled estimates from linear mixed-effects models, thick lines represent 75% confidence intervals, and thin lines represent 95% CIs. For non-scaled estimates of all explanatory variables from models assuming no difference in Kmax, see Supplementary Tables 1 and 2.
