From: Deep ocean drivers better explain habitat preferences of sperm whales Physeter macrocephalus than beaked whales in the Bay of Biscay

Figure 2

The functional relationships between beaked whale and sperm whale individual densities and the four most important and uncorrelated variables. Solid lines represent the estimated smooth functions and the blue shaded regions show the approximate 95% confidence intervals. The relative density of individuals (individuals per 100 km2) is shown on the y-axis, where a zero indicates no effect of the covariate. The black rug plot on the x-axis represents the distribution of the data. The percentages indicate the importance of the variables calculated by summing the Akaike weights of the models in which they were selected. D*: explained deviance; T: temperature; GrT: gradients of temperature; EKE: eddy kinetic energy; m: mean; sd: standard deviation.
