: The ranking (out of 243 genera identified in all three zones, with euqal to or more than 0.05% distribution) is based on the calculated mean density of the specified genus in all three zones (i.e., the sum of the denisties in each zone divided by three as shown in the last column). In each row (genus), the highlighted in bold cell indicate the zone at which the greatest density for that genus was observed. See Supplementary Table 5 for the list of all genera identified and their distribution in each care zone (Data from sampling in May 2015).
