Figure 2. Non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination plot of the macroinvertebrate communities in the control (black symbols) and manipulation (white symbols) reaches pre- (circles) and post-addition (triangles) from Bluff River Cave, Jackson Co., AL, U.S.A. Data points are based on untransformed macroinvertebrate biomass data that were averaged within reaches each sampling month (see text). 71
Figure 3. Non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination plots based on untransformed biomass of seven taxa that contributed 82-91% to the overall dissimilarity among all pair-wise cave comparisons between the control and manipulation reaches pre- and post-addition. The diameter of each circle is proportional to taxon biomass (mg dry mass m -2 ). (a) Caecidotea, (b) Oligochaeta, (c) Ephemeroptera, (d) Polypedilum, (e) Tanypod genus A, (f) Tanypod genus B, (g) Paraphaenocladius. Stress = 0.12 for all figures. 72
