Table 2.
Fit summary for models relating mammal diversity, stunting and human pressure. χ2: test of differences between observed and expected covariance matrices; P: statistical significance of χ2; TLI: Tucker-Lewis Index; CFI: Comparative Fit Index; NFI: Normed Fit Index; RMSEA: Root Mean Square Error of Approximation; AIC: Akaike Information Criterion. Hypotheses tested for the relationship between diversity and stunting: 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. All statistics show best fit of H2 for DRD and of H3 for MRD
