Structural Equation Model (SEM) summarization of geographic and bioclimatic variable effects on the variation of the frequency of saurophagy records in South America. Lat = latitude; Lon = longitude; Bio3 = isothermality; Bio5 = max temperature of warmest month; Bio15 = precipitation seasonality; Bio18 = precipitation of warmest quarter; ET = evapotranspiration; PP = primary productivity. The arrow thickness represents the effect size of predictor variables. Solid arrows represent significant effects (values in bold) and dotted arrows represent no significant effect. Red arrows represent negative associations and blue arrows represent positive associations. β = standardized regression coefficients. Saurophagy illustration by: Lucas Rosado.
