<p><b>Schematic summary of assemblage composition for small mammals in tropical dry forests of western Mexico</b>: (a) relative abundance for upland (black) and arroyo forests (gray), and (b) functional dissimilarity dendrogram and summary of functional traits for habitats: strata use (H), daily activity patterns (A), diet (D: circle color) and individual biomass (i.w.) weight, (W: proportional to circle size).

<p><b>Predictions for richness–functional diversity for arroyo forest species</b> of the species richness–functional diversity association predicted by the null model (SFD) vs. observed functional diversity based on (b) species occurrence (incidence), (c) relative number of individuals, and (d) biomass.

Summary of effects on each biodiversity component according to the selected models.

<p>For clarity, the effects of some fitting co-variables were omitted (e.g., temporal trends, sample-size effects), and only effects of interest are consistently shown. Positive (continuous lines) and negative (broken lines) effects are shown. Double-lined arrows are mathematical (not estimated) associations, and the triple-lined arrow between species richness (S_t) and functional diversity predicted by the SFD (FDe_t) represents the theoretical association between these variables predicted by the null model. Thus, the observed value for each biodiversity component (black box) is the sum of the effect of species richness predicted by the null model (i.e., intrinsic functional redundancy) and deviations from it (i.e., extrinsic functional redundancy), both represented by the gray boxes. Arrow width is proportional to the strength of the effects, according to the respective partial coefficient of determination.
