Extended Data Table 2 Summaries of parametric coefficient estimates and smooth fits for GAMMs predicting invertebrate contributions to decomposition and herbivory rate through time

From: Stronger El Niños reduce tropical forest arthropod diversity and function

  1. Error families and associated link functions varied because of the differing methods of quantifying decomposition and leaf herbivory rates, and thus differences in data format. No parameters describing long-term changes in invertebrate contribution to decomposition were selected via AIC. Leaf herbivory by invertebrates decreased significantly after the year 2000. Short-term changes in the rates of both processes were significantly related to climate oscillations.
