Elevational biodiversity gradients in the Neotropics: Perspectives from freshwater caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera)

Fig 2. A. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of Trichoptera genera assemblages across an elevation gradient (600–3,500 m a.s.l.) in western Ecuador. Vectors represent the Spearman correlation (> 0.65) of the genera (with abundances square root transformed) with NMDS axis. B. Non-metric multidimensional scaling of Trichoptera genera with correlations to environmental variables (> 0.65). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0272229.g002 PLOS ONE Elevational biodiversity gradients of Neotropical caddisflies PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0272229 August 5, 2022 8 / 17
