Partial mantel test summary statistics showing (1) the effect of environmental similarity after removing the effect of geographic distance (Env. Simil.), and (2) the effect of geographic distance after removing the effect of environmental similarity (Geog. Dist.). P values estimated from 1000 permutations. Bold values indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05).
