From: Large body size constrains dispersal assembly of communities even across short distances
Partial residuals for the effect of body size on dispersal limitation, accounting for the simultaneous effect of the other variables, and the estimated regression line with 95% CI; P = 0.021 (Table 5). Dispersal limitation towards crowns of young trees is higher in species of large body size than in species of small body size. Dispersal limitation was calculated for each species from the interaction between young-crown-branch and contact-with-old-crown-branch in models including all microhabitat covariates. Dispersal limitation was then related to body size of species, their arboreal life-style and the interaction between the two (Table 5). M. brevipes and D. plantivaga are marked Mb and Dp, respectively.
