a negative trendP = 0.072
After removing the chisel-toothed kangaroo rat and white-tailed antelope squirrel from the small-mammal community, there remained a negative trend in abundance with increased cheatgrass cover (estimate = −0.658, SE = 0.365, z 67 = −1.801, P = 0.072), suggesting that the decreasing trend in small mammals was not solely due to declines by these two species.
