A. Mean and standard deviation values (SD) of each variable are shown for the ’torrents’, ’ponds’ and ‘rivers/lakes’ clusters. B. Percentage of categories’ individuals in each cluster (Cat/Clu) and percentage of clusters’ individuals in each category (Clu/Cat) are represented. The sign of the v-test values indicate whether the variable is over (positive value) or under-represented (negative value) compared to the global average values. P-values of the respective v-tests are represented.
