Table 1. PERMANOVA table of results indicating a significant difference in fish assemblage structure between East and West Fork sites (Pseudo-F ¼ 10.481, df ¼ 1, P ¼ 0.0001) after accounting for the effect of the site distance covariate, which does influence fish assemblage structure (Pseudo- F ¼ 7.813, df ¼ 1, P ¼ 0.00015). Stream distance data (between sites) were square root transformed prior to analysis to ensure that distance variation of East and West Fork sites were more comparable.
