Appendix E. Correlations between the area-corrected diversity curves of various correlation methods.
TABLE E1. The r values for correlations between the area-corrected diversity curves using the taxon value and for other values of z, as well as for the linear and semi-logarithmic methods. Canonical z calculations for non-volant, small mammals (NVSM) are the same as upper CL because z values are equal. Nonsignificant correlations are shown in bold. [Mountains ordered by latitude S-N.]
