Comparing two vertical plankton distributions

Published in Limnology and Oceanography, 2000

Traditional statistical methods for testing for differences in vertical plankton distributions are invalid when the distributions are patchy. This note describes a modification of the Kolmogorov‐Smirnov test that is insensitive to patchiness. The modified test is applied to some data on day‐night differences in the vertical distribution of two zooplankton taxa.
