QUATERNARY OSTRACODS FROM SOUTH-WESTERN AFRICA 427 towards the shallower water sites at which H. melobesioides occurs and in which it is a less-important component of the assemblage. Correlation coefficients based on the whole sample suite suggest that this species, on a regional basis, most strongly correlates with temperature ( — ) which, together with salinity, generally decreases with increasing latitude and depth (Fig. 27). It is convenient to consider the distribution of ostracod assemblages in relation to regional environmental parameters in terms of the dominant taxa. Figure 29 shows the geographical distribution of the dominant taxa, together with the environmental parameters with which they are most strongly correlated, whereas Figures 30-32 show regional latitude-depth plans of variations in all the parameters investigated. To make a more sophisticated assessment of the relationships between individual species requires a multivariate approach, and this has been presented in a separate publication (Dingle & Giraudeau 1993). 35°S j: 500 - a 0) Q 1000. £ 500 - a 0) Q 1000 J.
