Results of Canonical correspondence analyses comparing the plant and butterfly species coposition recorded in nature reserves and military training areas of the Czech Republic.

Selected plant COVARIATES: ∼log(Area) +Long2+Lat2+Alt2+Arange +Veg +Long*Lat +log(Area)*ARange.Selected butterfly COVARIATES: ∼Area +Lat2+Long2+Al2+Lat*Long +ARange +Veg +Area*ARang.STATUS models are directly comparing the two land use caterogires, COVARIATES models were constructed by a forward selection of site characteristics potentially influencing the species composition, whereas STATUS|COVARIATES models are testing the marginal influence of STATUS, after fitting the COVARIATES terms into the models. F and P values refer to the Monte Carlo permutation tests.Potential covariates were: site Area, latitude (Lat), longitude (Long), Altitude (Alt), Altitude range (ARange) and Phytogeography region (Veg; a ranked variable, from coldest to warmest).
