Jon D. Witman, Robert W. Lamb, and Jarrett E. K. Byrnes. 2015. Towards an integration of scale and complexity in marine ecology. Ecological Monographs 85:475–504. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-2265.1

Appendix I. Pairwise significance tests between habitat types and journal of publication for all metrics analyzed.

Table I1. Pairwise comparisons of means by false discovery rate-adjusted alpha for significant differences by habitat type and journal for all significant terms of complexity and scale. Difference is mean difference (log scale) between studies from the respective pairwise comparison, along with lower and upper intervals. P < 0.05 considered significant.
