Figure 3

Predator composition in rice fields (empty squares) and puddles (filled squares). Bars denote mean density in 10 samples of rice fields and 9 samples of puddles of each predator. Stars above bars denote significant difference in a single test. Inset shows clustering of samples based on their predator composition using Principal Component (PC) analysis. Coordinates are the first (horizontal) and second principal components. The first PC represented overall predator abundance because its eigenvector's loadings were positive and similar in magnitude (except for the negative loading of the dragonfly; not shown). It alone accounted for 38% of the total variation and together with the second PC, 64% of the total variation was captured.
