Explanation of Symbols: >> 1.3 or greater separates the average rankings for relative abundance of these two species
  > 0.4 to 1.2 separates the average rankings of these two species
  >= 0.2 to 0.3 separates the average rankings of these two species
  = 0.0 to 0.1 separates the average rankings of these two species
  reg. regular rankings, little variation in rankings of relative abundance
  sli.var. rankings of relative abundance vary slightly
  var. rankings of relative abundance are variable
