Table 1.

Standardized weights (SW) and statistical significance (P) of regressions. Hypotheses tested for the relationship between mammal diversity and stunting: H₁ (direct relationship); H₂ (diversity influences human variables and these influence stunting); H₃ (human variables influence both diversity and stunting). DRD: Deep Rainforest Diversity; MRD: Marginal Rainforest Diversity. To identify dependent and independent variables, see Fig. 5
