Figure 5From: Cross-taxon congruence and environmental conditionsCausal structure connecting environmental conditions, latitude, and diversity of mammals and birds. Structural equation model connecting environmental conditions, latitude, and diversity of mammals and birds.The overall model was non significant indicating good congruence between the proposed causal structure and observations. Path model with the environmental determinants of bird (NDVI, HRA, PET, Tmean, Lat) and mammal richness (HRA, PET, Tmean, Lat and Lat2) and the remaining direct link between biological groups. Above the arrows it is shows the path coefficients, with its standard error in parentheses.Back to article page
