NMS ordination of species composition in the Galápagos (left; Group 0) and Cocos Island (right; Group 0) in comparison with randomized subsets obtained by using environmental parameters (Group 1) and with entirely stochastic subsets disregarding environmental parameters (Group 2). Galápagos lies at the center of the random subsets generated by using environmental parameters, whereas Cocos Island lies close to the corresponding subset.
