Fig. 5: Species richness along forest development.

Patterns of species richness along forest development (sensu Zenner et al.63) for each taxonomic group from individual Bayesian multilevel models with a negative binomial error distribution. We predicted 50 times along the elevational gradient, averaged them by developmental stage, summarized the means using the MAP (explanation in methods), normalized them between the minimum and maximum predicted value of each taxon, and fitted a loess curve for better visualization.
