Explanatory models for the proportion of monophages according to path analyses in Fig. 4 with direct and indirect coefficients and their relative contributions to the explained variation (R²).

Only variables with significant total effects are presented. The “direct effect” (d) expresses how much a given variable changes in response to changes in another variable while controlling for the effect of all other variables in the model. The ‘‘indirect effect’’ (i) expresses the influence of a given variable on another variable that is mediated by one or more variables through causal relationships presented in the model.
