3.1.3 Genus
At the genus level, for Aipysurus at 5 arc-minutes, calcites (Cal), dissolved molecular oxygen (Doxy), iron (Iro), Pho, Sal and Tem were the most important variables for PC, while Doxy, Iro, Pho and Tem were the most important for PI. At 10 arc-minutes, Sil was the most important variable for PC and Doxy, Pho and Sil for PI. InEmydocephalus at 5 arc-minutes for PC, Doxy, Sal, Sil and Tem were the most important variables, while Sil and Tem were the most important for PI. At 10 arc-minutes, currents Velocity (Cvel), Sal, Sil and Tem were the most important variables for PC and the same variables omitting Sal for PI. For Ephalophis at the 5 arc-minutes for both PC and PI, Iro, Sal and Tem were the most important variables. While at 10 arc-minutes, Nit and Sal were important for PC and only Nit for PI.
For Hydrophis and Laticauda , the results at the genus level were similar to those obtained at the subfamily level due to contain same all species in case of Laticaudinae (the reason for we are not presented the same results here) and almost all for Hydrophiinae. Specifically, for Hydrophis at 5 arc-minutes for PC, Nit, Pho, Sal and Tem were the most important variables, while Nit and Tem were the most important for PI. At 10 arc-minutes, Nit, Sil and Tem were the most important variables for both PC and PI, and additionally, Pho was important only in PC.
Finally, Microcephalophis was influenced by Sal and Tem at 5 arc-minutes for PC, while Tem was the only important variable for PI. At 10 arc-minutes, Tem was the most important variable for both PC and PI. We also did not find any statistical difference between comparison same variable in both resolutions, importance metric in any genus (Table S3).
