Linear regressions for scale dependence of model results.

The R2, p-values, and slopes for linear regressions of the dependent variables W95 Cons (width of the consumer resource distribution in relation to MaxEnt expectations), |ME| (absolute value of the average niche ME), and fL (fraction of links correctly predicted by a one-dimensional probabilistic niche model), as a function of the explanatory variables S, L, L/S, and C (Table 1, Metrics 1–4). Each regression includes the seven free-living species webs currently analyzed and 28 (W95 Cons, fL) or ten (|ME|) additional food webs (Table S5). Regressions that are significant at a Bonferroni-corrected (n = 4) p-value of 0.0125 are shown in bold.
