  1. For each habitat, resident species are those whose preference is that habitat, while foreign are those with a preference on a different habitat. This is the median growth, or the fitted survival rate, of all resident species vs. foreign species averaged across the five habitats, based on the results of six mixed models run in R: separate growth and mortality models for all individuals combined, then for saplings and trees.
