Table 2. Multi-Response Permutation Procedure P-values for sample parameters for HC, HP and combined data sets.
| Depth/oxygen | Site | Mat type | Salinity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HC-all eukaryotes | 0.455 | NA | 0.028 | NA |
| HC-foraminfera | 0.027 | NA | 0.776 | NA |
| HP-all eukaryotes | 0.817 | NA | 0.000 | NA |
| HP-foraminifera | 0.001 | NA | 0.000 | NA |
| Combined-all eukaryotes | 0.061 | 0.001 | 0.001 | <0.001 |
| Combined-foraminfera | 0.051 | 0.007 | 0.055 | NA |
Abbreviations: HC, Highborne Cay; HP, Hamelin Pool; NA, not applicable.
MRPP values are combined for depth and oxygen for all data sets because all 0-1 cm samples were oxic and all 1–2 cm samples were anoxic.
