Extended data figures and tables
Extended Data Fig. 1 An alternative competition model removes the predicted effects of trait differences on coexistence mechanisms.
a–e, Using coefficients of model 7 has the effect of removing statistically significant trends in the relative magnitudes of treatment differences in demographic potential and competition coefficients (t = − 1.68, p = 0.10) (a). This also has the consequence of removing the positive associations between functional trait distances and absolute changes in FD between treatments (b), absolute changes in ND between treatments (c), and overall fitness differences (d) and overall niche differences (e). ND results remain unchanged from the original analysis.
