Summary of Statistical Model Selection and Results for Reef Fish Richness and Abundance from THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MARINE PROTECTED AREAS ON THE SPATIOTEMPORAL PATTERNS OF REEF FISH IN THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC

The document presents: details of the selection of statistical models to determine which spatial (islands), temporal (climatic seasons and diurnal period), and abiotic (temperature and depth) factors explain reef fish richness. A taxonomy table of species containing information on abundances, occurrences between islands, climatic seasons, diurnal periods, conservation status, and fishing targets. A figure with quantile-quantile plots featuring simulated envelopes from residual analyses of the final selected models. A table with Tukey's test results, including pairwise comparisons between climatic seasons. A table with parameter estimates for the final models of Generalized Linear Models adjusted for the numerical abundance of schooling and non-schooling species. A table with parameter estimates for the Generalized Linear Vector Model of the composition and proportion of expected occurrence of fishing target species between the islands.
