Table 2 Result of the ANCOVA for the slope ( a ) of NBSS ( Y = aX + b )

From: Spatial and temporal changes in zooplankton abundance, biovolume, and size spectra in the neighboring waters of Japan: analyses using an optical plankton counter

Parameter	df	SS	F -value	p- value
Intercept	1	0.052	3.451	NS
Group	5	0.645	8.629	***
Group × Intercept	5	0.111	1.477	NS
Error	66	0.972	-	-

With the intercept (b) of NBSS and zooplankton group (cf. Figure 5A) applied as independent variables. d.f., degrees of freedom; SS, sum of squares. N.S., not significant. ***p < 0.0001.
