A4.3 Animals in less diverse or abundant taxa

Details about all animal species detected in less diverse or abundant taxa, arranged by response types for each gradient and classified according to: Response Type (RT) for individual species with a total count of> 5 animals across a gradient, derived from the analyses summarised in Section 3.3.5.

INC/inc=Increaser; DEC/dec=Decreaser; INT/int=Intermediate; INV/inv=Inverted
Upper case denotes regressions that were significant at P<0.05.
Lower case denotes 0.05<P<0.10
ND=Not determined (no significant regression or total count < 5 animals per gradient).

Guild in the following classes for:

Small mammals:
DI AR IN = Diurnal Arboreal Insectivore
DI SS IN = Diurnal Sub-surface Insectivore
DI TE CA = Diurnal Terrestrial Carnivore
DI TE HE = Diurnal Terrestrial Herbivore
DI TE IN = Diurnal Terrestrial Insectivore
NO AR IN = Nocturnal Arboreal Insectivore
NO SS IN = Nocturnal Sub-surface Insectivore
NO TE CA = Nocturnal Terrestrial Carnivore
NO TE HE = Nocturnal Terrestrial Herbivore
NO TE IN = Nocturnal Terrestrial Insectivore

Count = total count of all animals sampled along gradient

* = exotic species
