Patterns of orders turnover
Both βj and βs increased significantly with the increasing latitude difference of overall orders (slop = 0.025, R2= 0.057, p < 0.05; and slop = 0.019,R2 = 0.051, p < 0.05, Figure 4a; Table 5), phytophage faunas (slop = 0.035,R2 = 0.046, p < 0.05; and slop = 0.036, R2 = 0.053, p < 0.05, Figure 4b; Table 5), and predacity faunas (slop = 0.054,R2 = 0.12, p < 0.001; and slop = 0.039, R2 = 0.12, p < 0.001, Figure 4c; Table 5), respectively. Both βj and βs increased significantly with the increase of EMT and SOC for overall orders (Figure 5d and 4d), phytophage (Figure 5e and 4e), and predacity (Figure 5f and 4f) faunas. With the increase of MAT and MTCM, both βj and βs were observed to be increased for phytophage (Figure 5b and 5h) and predacity (Figure 5c and 5i) faunas, whereas βj and βs of only predacity faunas were observed to be increased significantly with the increasing MAP and SBD (Figure 5l and 4i; Table 5). Though βj and βs were increased with increasing latitude difference and SOC, the orders turnover rate of phytophage faunas was less than that of predacity faunas (Table 5).
