  1. Results of randomization regressions on inverse-transformed relative abundances vs. the log-transformed water volume and leaf litter mass. N = sample size, R2 = proportion of variation explained by the model, F = regression model test statistic, P F = probability value associated with F statistic, SE = standard error of the coefficient estimate, t = test statistic for coefficient, P t = probability associated with t-statistic. Y-intercepts not shown, but all were significantly greater than zero (P < 0.001). Aedes triseriatus relative abundances were not transformed, as transformation did not improve linearity.
