Table 2. Similarity percentage (SIMPER) showing species contributions (Contrib%) to dissimilarity between East and West Fork sites. West and East Fork average abundance (Av.Abund) columns list the transformed mean abundances for species in both forks, ‘Diss/SD’ represents the ratio between the average dissimilarity and standard deviation, and the cumulative % (Cum.%) column lists the cumulative dissimilarity across species with a 90% cutoff. The average dissimilarity between the East and West Forks was 58.74%.
