Multivariate analysis of megafaunal abundance data suggested
no significant differences in community composition between cable
and control transects (rho ¼ 0.15, p ¼ 0.050) and no significant
effects of time (rho ¼ 0.16, p ¼ 0.054) (ANOSIM, two-way crossed
design without replication using Spearman rank correlation
coefficient).
