Figure 6. Significant relationships among environmental variables that correlated significantly with box jellyfish abundance at Waikiki Beach.

A) Non-linear relationship between primary production and NPGO detected by using Generalized Additive Models (GAM). B) Linear relationship between zooplankton biomass and primary production detected by using General Regression Models (GRM). Biogeochemical variables were obtained at Station ALOHA, from the Hawaiian Oceanographic Time-series program (HOT) at http://hahana.soest.hawaii.edu/hot/. Solid red line represents the model fit, and dashed lines represent 99% confidence levels. Bars represent standard errors.
