Overview

Analysis reveals distinct pteropod assemblages based on depth in the Andaman Islands, suggesting significant ecological patterns.

Key Points

  • The study identifies 22 pteropod species across multiple depths, highlighting significant depth-driven distribution patterns.
  • Heliconoides inflatus was the most abundant species, while species diversity peaked at 200 m depth in Little Andaman.
  • Depth was confirmed as a significant factor influencing pteropod assemblages based on multivariate analyses with a pseudo-F of 4.79.
  • Environmental factors like temperature and salinity were shown to influence the distribution patterns of pteropods across the sampled depths.
