Table 2 Results of 3-way analyses of variance and permutational analysis of variance to compare the differences in recruit assemblage abundance (total number of recruits), composition (number of recruits per taxa), diversity (Shannon–Wiener Index S-W), and richness (number of species/taxa) between months, seasons, and years.
From: Reef larval recruitment in response to seascape dynamics in the SW Atlantic
