Table S.1. Coprophilous beetle guilds nadspecies abundance, and seasonality GLM results.

The species excluded from all analyses are marked with an asterisk* and lack abbreviation. Abb. = abbreviation used in ordination diagrams, Sum = sum of all individuals in our sampling, Guild = guild membership ( R = relocators, D = dwellers, H = hydrophilids, LP = large predators, MP = medium predators, SP = small predators), GLM type = best fit for the species response along season (lin = linear, quad = quadratic), F, P (P < 0,05*, P < 0,001**, P <0,0001***, P > 0.05 (n.s.)), AIC = the results of best fit GLM, season = seasonal trend of the respective species (1 – early spring or decline during the season, 2 – optimum during the year, 3 – autumn optimum or increase during the season, 4 – early spring and late autumn distribution - U-shaped seasonal trend)
