  1. Results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing for the effect of species and region on diatom and dinoflagellate marker fatty acids and of the Kruskal–Wallis rank-sum test to test for the effect of species and region on copepod marker fatty acids. Significant results are highlighted in bold. Degrees of freedom (Df), the test statistic (F-value for ANOVA, Chi-squared for Kruskal test) and P-value are shown.
