Planktonic Foraminifera as Oceanographic Proxies: Comparison of Biogeographic Classifications Using Some Southwest Pacific Core-Top Faunas

Figure 4

Projections of sites onto principal axes for two largest eigenvalues. (a) Singular value decomposition (SVD), vectors are projections of major taxa; 87% variance shown. (b) Principal coordinates analysis; 53% variance shown. (c) Nonmetric multidimensional scaling, Euclidean distances. All computed with PAST v1.11 (http://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/) Site identifiers [9, Table 1] are grouped by bathymetric regions.
