Fig 5. Shannon diversity patterns.

Boxplots of Shannon diversity based by Estuary and Sampling Period (A) and Location (B) categories. IRL stands for Indian River Lagoon and SLE for St. Lucie Estuary. The letters on top of each boxplot denote the results from the pairwise Dunn test with different letters denoting statistical significance (Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p values < 0.05). In A the letters show how each of the sampling periods were different within each estuary but do not denote inter-estuary comparisons. Bars denote largest and smallest values within 1.5 times the interquartile range, middle line is the median, ends of boxes are the first and third quartiles.
