2.3. Data analysis
A one-way analysis of variance, followed by a post hoc Bonferroni’s
test was used to compare burrow densities and diameters
among sites. Mean sediment grain was calculated with the GRADISTAT
software, using the Folk and Ward method (Blott and Pye,
2001). Spearman’s rank correlation was used to assess the relationships
between physical and environmental factors and burrow
density of ghost crabs.
