Figure 9
General additive model of drivers of swordfish daytime vertical habitat use. Top: partial effects in meters below surface (i.e., positive numbers indicate greater depth) for smoothed functions of light attenuation coefficient (a), sea surface temperature (b), and sea surface height (c). Panel (d): Pairwise observed concurvity of global model terms. Concurvity values (0–1) indicate the degree to which the smooth terms indicated by columns are dependent on (i.e., could be replaced by) terms indicated by rows. Panel (e): Individual swordfish random intercepts (global model intercept 494.9 m represented by the horizontal dashed line). Point colors correspond to individual fish per Figs. 3, 4, 8, 10. Generated in R 4.2.167.
