Results of multiple regression on distance matrices (MRM) of functional diversity as a function of taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity of Bolivian bats.

MRM was calculated using a permutation method with the functional dissimilarity matrix used as the dependent matrix, and taxonomic distance and phylogenetic distance were independent matrices (F = 22.64, P = 0.002). The percentage of explained variation due to ‘pure’ effect corresponds to the contribution of each explanatory matrix to the model, as calculated by a hierarchical partitioning.
