Correlations between three axes of a 3D non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (nMDS) model for (a) haematology (HMT) and (b) blood chemistry (BLC) analytes for Rottnest Island and mainland animals (combined sample) that were tested for eight infectious agents (IA). In this case, the three-dimensional model had less stress than the two-dimensional model. Values above the horizontal line for HMT and BLC are Spearman rank order correlation coefficients with the nMDS axes scores. Below the horizontal lines are results of multiple regression testing for relationships with site and the presence/absence of six (HMT) or five (BLC) of these IA. Colour shading indicates high to low correlations of HMT (red to blue) and BLC (red to green).
