Spatial patterns of simultaneously measured PN and PAS response (PB PAH and EC) were also similar on transects 4.5 7.5 km from LAX e)).
Similar to transect A, the coarse-grained sequence is covered by greyish or brownish, homogeneous sediments at coring sites LEF 1, 46 and 47, mainly consisting of clay and silt.
Similar to transect A, the thick unit of homogeneous mud is followed by a coarse-grained sequence at coring sites LEF 1, 46 and 47, for which entirely different geochemical characteristics are documented compared to the above and below lying sediments (Figs. 3, 4, see also Section 4.2).
Broadly, the climate is similar across sampled transects, but microhabitat conditions may vary and cause diversification of species in understory.
AUV transects covering similar depths from both the historical range of New South Wales, Australia, and from the range extension area of the east coast of Tasmania were examined for the presence of barrens.
The different width transects provided similar estimates of mean species numbers of the cryptic fish, while the estimate of non-cryptic species number increased in the wider transects and the narrowest transects provided the lowest total species numbers in most cases.
The uniformity of the apatite (U Th)/He dates indicates that the rocks encompassed by our > 250 km-long sample transect experienced similar Phanerozoic thermal histories.
We had previously determined that survivorship under the physiological stressors employed in this study was similar across this age transect (Figure S1).
The choice of covariates was scale-dependent and thus limited to those covariates that varied at the landscape-scale and at similar resolution to our transect placement.
In all cases, 0.5 and 1.0 m wide transects provided very similar fish density estimates.
