Fig. 4: Effect of invasive alien species on insects, split by type of invasive.

From: Meta-analysis reveals negative but highly variable impacts of invasive alien species across terrestrial insect orders

Fig. 4

Model-derived response (delta corrected Log Response Ratio [LRR]) of insects to invasive alien species presence, split by taxonomic order of the invasive alien species: plant (green) or animal (orange). Plots derived from results of metafor94 models run with (a) all abundance data (k = 277 effect sizes), and (b) all species richness data (k = 40 effect sizes), with type of invasive as a moderator variable. k represents the number of effect sizes for each invasive alien type, as indicated on the plot. Plot elements (e.g., dots, bars, circles) as in Fig. 2.
