Land Use Influences Niche Size and the Assimilation of Resources by Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Tropical Headwater Streams - Fig 6

Standard ellipse areas (SEA, solid lines), representing the core isotopic niche space of the macroinvertebrate feeding groups, as determined through SIBER models for the three land use categories: (A) natural cover, (B) pasture and (C) sugar cane. The dashed lines delimit the total area of the macroinvertebrate assemblages of each land use category.
