Figure 5. Latitudinal variation in seasonal patterns.
Bi-monthly log transformed mean abundance of Calanus finmarchicus (A) and Centropages typicus (B) from 1977–2009 within each region (binned by 2° latitudes) of the US northeast shelf ecosystem. Numbers are individual m−3. Warm color (red) represents high abundance and cold color (blue) represents low abundance. Black squares indicate the peak month.
