Figure 4. Summary of the results regarding Hypothesis 3
on functional properties . A-C . Histograms of the distribution
of the expected functional richness values for each beach level. The
expected average values are shown with a dashed red line. The observed
values are shown with a solid, black line. Observed values being
significantly different from the expected ones according to the standard
size effect test are marked with asterisks (***: p<0.001).D. Distribution of the species contribution to the overall
functional space in each level
