Multidimensional scaling (n-MDS) ordination in Euclidean space of (a) the fatty acid composition of fin whales, (b) fatty acids responsible for these groupings (Pearson correlations), and (c) long-term trend in the proportion of major essential fatty acids (Sum of 20:5n3, 22:6n3 and 20:4n6). nMDS calculations were based on the extended dietary fatty acid subset (n = 39). Avg. = Population average. Detailed interactive and static 3D n-MDS is also available in the Supplementary Fig. S2 online and in Mendeley data repository (https://doi.org/10.17632/6nxhjx9gbw.1).
