Effects of taxonomic diversity and environmental variables on phylogenetic diversity-functional diversity relationships When testing the relationships between the different diversity metrics and environmental variables for spiders, our final SEMs indicated good fit with the data (Fisher's C = 1.075, p = 0.898; figure 3 ). Salinity and litter depth were linked to spider PD (positive link, selected in the model but only marginally significant: p = 0.068) and FD (negative link, selected in the model and again almost significant: p = 0.051), respectively.
