Figures & data
Table 1 The location of each of our study sites on the western Antarctic Peninsula and the Magellan Strait and the dominant canopy-forming algae present.
Fig. 1 The taxon richness of sponges associated with canopy-forming algae as a function of the number of quadrats sampled at sites in Antarctica (circles) and Magallanes (triangles). (a) Observed sponge richness and (b) estimated sponge richness by using Chao2 estimate. Plotted values of Chao2 are based on 100 randomizations of sample order. Note that the scale on the Y axis differs between panels.
Table 2 Sponges associated with canopy-forming algae at sites in Antarctica and Magallanes. Asterisks indicate direct associations between sponge taxa and algal holdfasts. Operational taxonomic unit is abbreviated to OTU.
