       | The persistence probabilities of human-associated species (taxa
       | with diverse human utilization attributes) were relatively high

       | probabilities of spontaneous species (taxa with no human
       | utilization attributes and which are not cultivated) were
       | relatively high in mountainous areas or regions inhabited by
       | ethnic minorities.

       | Unsurprising results, but it's interesting seeing it quantified.
