Fig. 4.

Richness of wind-dispersed species is significantly related to the average velocity of wind during the seed dispersal season (September–January) that is aligned within 30° of the angle of the long axis of the corridor from a central patch to the connected patch. Each point is the mean species richness from 2001 to 2010 for the connected patch in each of 10 experimental blocks. Solid line represents the least-squares fit to the data; dashed lines are 95% confidence intervals. Details in SI Materials and Methods.
