Effect of seawater temperature, pH, and nutrients on the distribution and character of low abundance shallow water benthic foraminifera in the Galápagos
Table 1
In situ and satellite-derived environmental parameters used in this analysis.
Sample sites showing depth, calculated Fisher α indices, species richness, FORAM-Index values, aragonite saturation (Ωarag), pH, and calculated mean (μ), and mean anomaly (μ_.An) for Chlorophyll-a (Chl), sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface salinity (SSS) from satellite data for July 2002—December 2014. Mean: mean of monthly values; Mean Anomaly: per-month mean of all monthly anomalies over all months (monthly anomalies: annual mean of mean monthly values minus each monthly value). Samples: DAR: Darwin; BAL: Baltra; ES: Española; SF: Santa Fé; IS: Isabela; SC: San Cristóbal; FL: Floreana.
