a Biplot of a nonmetric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) ordination on cryptobenthic fish communities, with the arrows indicating the position and strength of the seven most important species. b Biplot of an nMDS on benthic functional groups, with the influence of all groups indicated with arrows. Convex hull polygons delineate locations. Each point represents a sample station at a particular site, with the shape size in (b) scaled by percent live coral cover. CCA = crustose coralline algae.
