Correlation matrix of the ecological, environmental, social, and life-trait history predictors tested in this study with associated values and p-values. Negatively correlated variables are shown in blue while those positively correlated are coloured in red. The statistical significance of each correlation is signified by asterisks whereas size of the circle is defined by the correlation strength. Asterisks indicate the level of significance (*0.05; **0.01 and ***0.001 respectively).
