Mantel test results (Rho statistic) of the comparison between similarity matrices of vegetation and taxonomic faunal groups.

Similarity matrices were constructed with the Bray-Curtis index. Rho = Rho statistics of RELATE routine, p = Monte Carlo Permutation test of significance (9999 permutations). %Zoo = percentage of zoophagous species/specimens, %Phy = percentage of phytophagous species/specimens, %Sap = percentage of saprovorous species/specimens, %Omn = percentage of omnivorous species/specimens. Phytophagous category include species that feed on mushrooms or any plant part (i.e. leaves, wood, roots, seeds, pollen, and nectar). For abbreviations of groups, see text (Material and methods).
