Table 1 Effects of water depth and mean grain size (‘sediment’) on the distributional ranges of species

	ANOVA on		Linear regression model
	Depth classes	Sediment classes	Water depth [m]	Median grain size [µm]	Depth × grain size interaction
Significant effect	104	95	76	73	80
Both factors significant	84		46
No significant effect	30	39	58	61	54
No significant model	18		24
