Table 2

In-stream habitat structure characterization (mean and standard deviation) of sampling sites in the Langueyú stream. The redundancy test shows the non-redundant variables (pass). Non-redundant variables are highlighted. The numbers in redundant variables represent the selected informative variables accounting for their information. HQI = habitat quality index.
