Stack plot of the 11 most abundant species and one genus ( Finmarchinella ), comprising ~80% of the ostracode assemblage, in DBO5-Barrow Canyon region (sites on Fig 2 map) from years ranging from 2011 to 2018 (n = 31 surface sediment samples with ≥30 specimens/sample, 2,951 total specimens). Other faunas at stations 5–9 and 5–10 that account for the species not shown on the stack plot include A . dunelmensis , J . acuminata and H . fascis , and R . tuberculatus .
