Effect of neighborhood functional CNV dissimilarity on seedling survival
The AIC values were used to compare models for each defense response (Table 1 & S4) and the values of the estimates of the fixed neighborhood effects of the best described models for each GO were shown in Figure 3. Across the best models for all four enemy types, log-transformation of initial seedling height (logHT) has a positive effect and conspecific seedling density (S_con) has a negative effect on seedling survival significantly, while conspecific adult neighbors have no significant effect (Table 1, Fig. 4, as logHT had a much larger effect size than all other variables, it was not shown in Fig3). When considering defense response to fungus, seedling survival was best explained by model I (Table 1), containing only logHT and S_con. When considering defense response to bacterium and virus, seedling survival was best explained by models VII (Table 1), and the adult NTFd’ had a positive effect on seedling survival (P =0.022, and P = 0.030 for defense response to bacterium and virus, respectively). When considering defense response to insect, the best described model was model V, and the seedling NTFd’ strongly negatively affected seedling survival (P =0.0097).
