Figure 3. Termites' effects on arboreal predators.

Figure 3

(A) Gecko habitat-selection experiment (repeated-measures MANOVA main effects: post size F 1,33 = 95.9, p<0.0001; mound proximity F 1,33 = 11.0, p = 0.002). Experimental prey supplementation at 30 m essentially equalized mean occupation rates at 10 m and 30 m (red markers; time × proximity interaction: F 1,33 = 7.5, p<0.01; Table S3). (B) Fecundity of female Cyclosa sp. (inset) decreases as a function of mound-proximity squared. Statistical significance of mound proximity determined using multiple regression with female carapace width as a covariate (N = 102). For total offspring per female (solid circles): F 1,99 = 21.9, p<0.0001. For mean number of offspring per egg sac per female (open circles): F 1,88 = 5.1, p = 0.026.
