Fig. 4. Proportional shell size and cost along global temperature gradients.

Latitudinal trends plotted by temperature for inorganic content (shell size) and shell cost in (A) gastropods and (B) bivalves. For gastropods (A), numbers represent species: (1) Phos senticosus (tropical), (2) Pollia fumosa (tropical), (3) Cominella lineolata (warm-temperate), (4) Buccinum undatum (cool-temperate), (5) B. glaciale (polar, Arctic), (6) B. cf. groenlandicum (polar, Artic), and (7) Neobuccinum eatoni (polar, Antarctic). For bivalves (B), numbers represent species: (1) Laternula boschasina (tropical), (2) L. truncata (tropical), (3) L. recta (temperate), and (4) L. elliptica (polar). Data are means ± 1 SE.
