Multitaxonomic diversity patterns along a desert riparian-upland gradient.

Taxon-Level Analyses – Habitat Types When comparing individual habitat types (FP, RT, NS, FS), six taxa had a trend of higher Mau Tau rarefied richness in the river floodplain habitat type (forbs and grasses, trees, scarab beetles, birds, and mammalian carnivores), four taxa had a trend of higher rarefied richness in the river terrace habitat type (shrubs, spiders, butterflies, and rodents), one taxon, solpugids, showed a trend of higher rarefied richness in the NS habitat type, and one taxon, lizards, had equally high estimates in RT and NS habitat types ( Figure 3 ).
