Extended Data Table 5 No relationship between leaf potassium concentration and herbivory

From: Widespread herbivory cost in tropical nitrogen-fixing tree species

  1. The effect of leaf potassium concentration, leaf area and stem length in driving the Proportionall of leaf area lost to herbivory, the Incidence of herbivory and the Proportiondamaged of leaf area lost to herbivory, across all species, fixer species alone and non-fixer species alone (number of observations: 350 (184 fixers, 166 non-fixers)), according to our mixed effects beta regression and our hurdle model approach. These models were two sided, and adjustment for multiple comparisons was not required. For each response variable, all three fixed effects were included, only changing the data set between models. Leaf area was standardized within species. Seedling (for the incidence model), species and plot identity were included as random effects.
