Figure 3. Variation in δ¹³C (A) and δ¹⁵N (B) of different sponge species along the S-SE and E-NE side of the Saba Bank in 2011 and 2013.

Means and 95% credible intervals are based on Bayesian statistics. Black dots represent the raw data of δ¹³C (A) and of δ¹⁵N (B), respectively, of the different sponge species. Sponges are grouped according to their functional traits (HMA-H, HMA-L and LMA). For sponge species abbreviations see Fig. 2.
