Table 1. Summary of predictor variables used in constrained ordinations.
Data | Source | Original Resolution | Connectivity Based? | Why chosen | Ref. |
Elevation | ASTER DEM1 | 30 m. | Yes | Hypothesized beetle dispersal limitation at high elevations. | [58] |
Climatic Suitability Index (CSI) | CFS2 | 1000 m. | Yes | Demonstrated climatic limitations to successful reproduction. | [38], [53] |
Pine Volume | CFS3 | 1000 m. | Yes | Beetles preferentially attack large diameter trees and high-volume stands. | [24], [39] |
Geographic Dist. | Calculated | 1000 m. | Yes | Null hypothesis - Isolation By Distance. | [59] |
Beetle PC1& PC24 | Initial PCA | NA | No | Hypothesis based on known symbiosis. | [7] |
Fungus PC1& PC24 | Initial PCA | NA | No | Hypothesis based on known symbiosis | [7] |
