Supplementary Figures

Fig. S1. Three realizations (rows) of a simulation showing the relationship between the log ratios of competitive Effects and Responses (each based on one inter- and one intraspecific coefficient) and niche overlap, ρ (based on all four coefficients). In all three cases, variation in the Effect and Response samples is higher than in the sample of ρ (right panels), but bias in the estimates of the mean is idiosyncratic (left panels). The dashed horizontal line shows the true mean. Code is in CompRegress_simulation.r.
