Fig. 2: Bivariate relationships between herbivore stability, asynchrony, population stability, mean phylogenetic diversity (MPD) and tree species diversity based on linear model results.
From: Asynchrony and functional diversity couple herbivore community dynamics to host plant diversity
“All” includes the entire herbivore community (generalists and specialists) analyzed together (All: light brown, generalist: red, specialist: dark red). Lines are linear regression model fits of the relationships between herbivore asynchrony and a tree species richness and b tree functional diversity. Relationships between herbivore abundance stability and c tree species richness and d herbivore asynchrony. Relationships between herbivore richness stability and e herbivore MPD and f herbivore population stability. Regression lines (with 95% confidence bands) show significant (solid lines, p ≤ 0.05) or non-significant (dashed lines, p > 0.05). Note that tree species richness, population stability, abundance stability and richness stability of herbivores were log-transformed. Error bands represent 95% confidence intervals around the mean.
