Extended Data Table 1 Fixers undergo greater herbivory than non-fixers

From: Widespread herbivory cost in tropical nitrogen-fixing tree species

  1. The effect of the trait of fixation, leaf area and stem length in driving the proportion of leaf area lost for all leaves (Porportionall), the Incidence of herbivory and the proportion of leaf area lost to herbivory for damaged leaves (Proportiondamaged) on mature and young leaves, according to our mixed effects beta regression and our hurdle model approach. These models were two sided, and adjustment for multiple comparisons was not required. Leaf area was standardized within species. Seedling, species and plot identity were included as random effects in the incidence of herbivory model, and species and plot identity were included as random effects for both proportion models.
