Tad C. Theimer, Catherine A. Gehring, Peter T. Green, and Joseph H. Connell. 2011. Terrestrial vertebrates alter seedling community composition and species richness but not diversity in an Australian tropical rain forest. Ecology 92:1626–1636.

Appendix B (TABLE B1). Results of binary logistic regression of whether seedling species were more common on open (1) or exclosure (0) plots vs. two measures of species abundance, number of adult trees and adult basal area, based on seedlings present on 28 plots in 2003 and for seedlings present on 14 plots in 2009.
