Comparing bird community metrics as predictors of model attack rates. Summary of AIC model selection results evaluating bird community metrics as predictors of model attack rates at the plot level (n = 27), ranked by model weight. For each model, parameter estimates for bird abundance (ABUN), functional diversity (FD), and phylogenetic diversity (PD) are provided as standardized beta coefficients (β) for comparison among bird community metrics.
