*Yes!*  I said almost the exact same thing (I didn't say anything
about Path Analysis because I don't know much about it), but I had it
in my mind that SEM was targeted more to sociological things and
didn't know if/that it was common in ecological contexts.  Anyway,
it's nice to hear that word coming from somebody else.
