First quantification of subtidal community structure at Tristan da Cunha Islands in the remote South Atlantic: from kelp forests to the deep sea

Fish and benthic community structure.
Multivariate description of fish and benthic communities in the Tristan da Cunha Islands from nearshore SCUBA surveys. Plots depict non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) analyses of (A) fish assemblages and (B) benthic assemblages using site-level densities of species observed. Vectors overlaying the plot depict the species that are driving separation among sites and islands in species composition in fish and benthic communities. Data were square root transformed prior to analysis.
