Fig. 3: Latitudinal variation in the proportion of species showing mainly animal seed dispersal and AM association.
From: Latitudinal scaling of aggregation with abundance and coexistence in forests
a, Latitudinal gradient in the proportion of species per plot that show both mostly animal seed dispersal and AM association. b, Relationship between the exponent of the aggregation–abundance relationship and the proportion of species per plot that show mostly animal seed dispersal and AM association for the 21 forest plots. For plot characteristics, sample sizes, raw data, plot acronyms and relationships with animal seed dispersal and AM association, see Extended Data Table 1. To outline the overall trend in the data, we fit a polynomial regression of order 2 in a and we fit a linear regression in b. Most species showed either AM or EM associations. Coloured discs indicate the example plots presented in Fig. 2a,b.
