Effect of initial species combination on final local diversity.

<p>Values were averaged (A) over communities with the same initial species combination (means ± SE, n = 3) and (B) over communities with and without initial presence of <i>Onychodromopsis</i> (means ± SE, n_with = 12, n_without = 6), respectively. Symbols depict (A) the six initial species combinations (SO: closed circles, SOF: open circles, SOFPU: closed triangles, U: open triangles, SOFP: closed squares, FP: open squares; species abbreviations as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0044555#pone-0044555-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>) and (B) communities with initial presence of <i>Onychodromopsis</i> (open circles) and without initial presence of <i>Onychodromopsis</i> (closed circles).
