Fig. 6: Correlation matrix of comparative time series analyses.

From: Shell thickness of Nucella lapillus in the North Sea increased over the last 130 years despite ocean acidification

Fig. 6

Correlation matrix of comparative model outputs for selected shell characteristics. y-axis shows model terms and x-axis represents the dependent variables (shell shape and thickness descriptors). Colour intensity (gradient) reflects the significance of correlation given by the models' p-values; with darker colours representing lower p-values. Included but non-significant model terms (p > 0.05) are represented by blanks. The upper bar shows the deviance explained per model in per cent. Colour intensity reflects the amount of deviance explained, with darker colours referring to a higher percentage of deviance explained. The variable s(AT PC1) was not included in any of the models and was thus omitted from the graphic.
