Chronology of environmental and ecological changes in the coastal southwestern Caribbean over the last 9 My. (A) Ecological structure of biotic assemblages estimated by PCA axis 1 in Fig. 2. (B) Percent carbonate of ≤2 mm fraction. (C) Mean annual range of temperature (MART) estimated by using the zooid size profiling technique on cupuladriid bryozoans. (D) Extinction rates for coral species (1) and molluscan genera and subgenera (13). See Fig. 1 for legend. Horizontal error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. Vertical error bars indicate maximum and minimum age estimates of faunules.
