Figure 4 in Depth-related gradient of soft-bottom crustacean distribution along the Cilician shelf*

Figure 4. nMDS (A; see Figure 1 for depth code) and biplot of CCA (axes 1–2) performed on log-transformed (log 10 × [N + 1]) density values (N) of the crustacean taxa and environmental variables (arrows) at each replicate (B; see Figure 1 for depth and transect codes around the symbols) and at 7 depths of a combination of 3 transects each, including 7 stations (C) in each season. Arrows refer to the direction and relative importance of environmental variables in the ordination. Symbol size is proportional to depth of sampling sites variable, i.e. the largest symbol corresponds to the maximum depth. See Table 3 for the abbreviations of the environmental variables.
