Origin of Macquarie Island echinoderms Polar Biology, 1998
(Ref: 8391)
Authors:Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature
The origin of echinoderms from Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean is analyzed through a novel application of multivariate statistics. Ordinations are produced from a combination of species distribution, bathymetric, habitat and life history data in order to assess patterns of migration.
