Correlation matrix between year, depth, temperature, salinity, and latitude of the sample, species number (𝑆), number of individuals (𝑁), species richness (Margalef Index) (𝐷), Pielou evenness (𝐽), and Shannon diversity (Hloge). Asterisks indicate significant results in the Bonferroni test. Data from MEDITS surveys series 2007–2010.
