Figure 6. Depth range of 89 species (541 records) from the MCC (left) and resulting species diversity gradient (right).

On the left panel, each segment links the maximum and minimum collection depths for a particular species. Species within genera are sorted by increasing median depth (m). The 200 m isobath is represented as a dashed line. Ra: Radicipes, I: Iridogorgia, R: Rhodaniridogorgia, P: Pseudochrysogorgia, M: Metallogorgia.
