Figure 2.

Significant negative effect of dung beetle functional richness (a), total biomass (b) and species richness (c) on the probability of seed emergence (a–c) and the significant positive effect of community-weighted mean (CWM) back : front leg length (d), total biomass (e) and species richness (e) on the likelihood that emerged seedlings survived until the end of the 18-week experimental period (d–f). Significance was determined by generalized linear mixed effects models. Predicted values (solid black lines) ± s.e. (ribbons) are displayed along with individual seeds (black points, jittered to avoid overlap), which either emerged (1) or did not emerge (0); and survived (1) or died after emergence (0).
