Note: †SUR is seedling survival. logHT is the log-transformed initial seedling height. ‡S_con is the number of con-specific seedlings and A_con is basal area of conspecific adults. §A_NTFd’ is the nearest taxon functional distance for neighbor adults and S_NTFd’ is the nearest taxon functional distance for neighbor seedlings. A_NTFd’ and S_NTFd’ was calculated based on functional CNVs per defense responses separately. ¶Bold values indicate the models selected based on the lowest AIC value per defense response and bold grey values indicate the models with ΔAIC≤2 compared to the best-fit model.
