Canonical variate correlation coefficients derived from the discriminant analysis for each abiotic variable from the EPA dataset along with the Wilks' Lambda P. The variables with the highest correlation with discriminant function (in bold) contribute most to the group separation (lakes inhabited by D. parvula or D. retrocurva).
