Analyses of densities of <i>T. torquatus</i> among subtidal habitats at (a)⁺Cape Banks during each time of sampling and (b)⁺⁺Cape Banks and Bare Island.

+Habitat, fixed 4 levels, Site, random, nested in Habitat, 3 levels, n = 7 and (b). ++Cape Banks and Bare Island; Location, random 2 levels, Habitat, fixed, orthogonal, 3 levels, Site, random, nested in (Location x Habitat), n = 7. One site of each type of habitat was removed randomly from Cape Banks, for each time of sampling to be comparable with Bare Island. aVariances were heterogeneous and were stabilised, where possible, using a forth root transformation (X0.25). Significant differences in means were compared using Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) tests. NS denotes not significant, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. For SNK comparisons: B, barrens; K, kelp; F, fringe; T, turf. XDenotes post-hoc pooling, P>0.25. New F-values are given for those tested against the pooled term. XTested against Si(Lo x Ha), Lo x Ha and Residual.
