Interpreting life-history traits, seasonal cycles, and coastal climate from an intertidal mussel species: Insights from 9000 years of synthesized stable isotope data
Fig 5
Box plots showing stable isotope ranges of each site comprising all shells with five or more subsamples from all Holocene intervals.
Black bar is the median value. (A) Oxygen isotope data from all shells with five or more subsamples for San Miguel Island (SMI), Santa Rosa Island (SRI), Santa Cruz Island (SCI), Anacapa Island (ANI), Newport Beach (NB), and San Diego (SD). Y-axis is inverted to match directionality of temperature proxy as indicated by SST arrow. (B) Carbon isotope data from all shells with five or more subsamples for the same sites. Arrow shows expected directionality of a potential δ13C upwelling signal.
