Table 1. Coefficients of determination of partial regression models of spider morphological variables (body size and flatness) against phylogenetic (PVR eigenvectors) and ecological (habitat and guild) components.
Spider morphological characteristic | Phylogenetic component | Niche conservatism component | Ecological component | Unexplained variation |
Habitat | ||||
Body size | 0.641 | 0.038 | 0.003 | 0.317 |
Flatness | 0.29 | 0.02 | 0.001 | 0.69 |
Guild | ||||
Body size | 0.26 | 0.419 | 0.012 | 0.309 |
Flatness | 0.203 | 0.106 | 0.002 | 0.689 |
These results represent the habitat scale analysis (Fig. 2B). Coefficients of determination in bold type denoting significant p-values (<0.05).
