Fig. 3. Relationships between environmental variables and coral telomere DNA length variation.
Results of a two-dimensions sparse partial least squares (sPLS) regression of TL (hTL and sTL) and environmental variables (contextual at the time and sampling and historical as recorded from 2002 to the sampling date). Clustered image map of the two sPLS dimensions, displaying pairwise correlations between TL (bottom) and environmental variables (right). Red and blue indicate positive and negative correlations, respectively. Hierarchical clustering was performed within the mixOmics cim function based on the sPLS regression model.
