a. Faunal abundance of selected taxa in relation to near-bottom temperature during summer sediment collection in the northern Bering and Chukchi Seas (n = 211, 26,170 total specimens, 1990–2018, ≥30 specimens/sample). b. Faunal abundance in relation to salinity. c. Faunal abundance in relation to sediment type. Ostracode species abundance plotted against the percent sediment modal grain size of phi 0–4, where 0 represents gravel and rocks, 1 = coarse sand, 2 = medium sand, 3–4 = finer sand. Phi ≥5 (not shown) represents the very fine silty mud and clay sediment fraction typical of offshore or interior areas of the continental shelf. (PDF)
