Knowledge graph centered on piecewise structural equation modeling (Ambystomatidae) with 15 nodes and 39 connections. Top connected: phenotypic plasticity, density dependence, facultative paedomorphosis, mark-recapture (Ambystomatidae), growing degree days.

Description

Used mixed-effects SEM framework to determine direct and indirect effects of climate and density-dependent variables on larval body size and morph outcome. Models incorporated random effects for cohort and correlation structures for temporal autocorrelation.

Typical Equipment

  • piecewiseSEM R package
  • R statistical software

Output Measurements

  • path coefficients
  • direct effects
  • indirect effects
  • model fit statistics
