Table 1 Results of the PLSR analysis summarizing the physiological traits associated with two contrasting ecoregions and habitats in Argentina. The variables whose square weights are larger than 1/number of variables, and therefore are statistically significant, are indicated in bold.
From: Physiological traits explain the response of dung beetles to land use at local and regional scales
