Patterns of Odonata Assemblages in Lotic and Lentic Systems in the Ankasa Conservation Area, Ghana

Figure 10

Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) ordination diagram, showing the relationship between environmental variables and Odonata species across the three water types in the Ankasa Conservation Area in Ghana. Species names are abbreviated with the first four letters of the genus and the first four letters of the species following Seidu et al., [17]. The blue arrows represent each of the environmental variables plotted pointing in the direction of maximum change of explanatory variables across the water types. Red and green ovals represent specialists’ species in lentic (ponds) and lotic (rivers and streams), respectively.
