Fig. 3From: Three-dimensional space use during the bottom phase of southern elephant seal divesContribution of the first eigenvalue to the total dispersion. A linear path would be indicated by a 100% contribution. Conversely, a well balanced 3D path would be indicated by equivalent contribution of the three eigenvalues to the total dispersion, that is a 33% contribution of the first eigenvalue. The black vertical line stands for the average, at 93.75% of the total dispersionBack to article page
