Table 3.

Final models for the size diversity of cavity nesting bees following backward elimination of the explanatory variables with a P‐value <0.10 (Table S6, Supporting information). Models were fitted using Poisson (Functionally singular species richnessbees) and Quasipoisson (Community weighted meanbees and Functional dispersionbees) generalized linear models (GLMs). Large wood boring beetle species excavate cavities with diameters ≥3 mm which may be used as nest sites by cavity nesting bees. Nagelkerke R 2 values are shown
