State-and-transition models for assemblages of small- and medium-sized mammals in arid and savanna habitats.

<p>States are indicated by rectangles and transitions that drive state-changes are shown by arrows. Solid arrows are known transitions, dotted arrows represent putative transitions identified in the present work. The arid model is based on Letnic and Dickman <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0092341#pone.0092341-Letnic2" target="_blank">[12]</a>, the savanna models on the results of the present study. Percentage values within rectangles represent average total trap success rates for species within the respective states. State I (comprising insectivorous marsupials) is absent from the Kimberley savannas, whereas several critical weight range (CWR: 35–5500 g) mammals that were part of State 3 assemblages in arid habitats, but which are now extinct, are shown in the rectangle defined by the dashed line.
