Biodiversity patterns of epipelagic copepods in the South Pacific Ocean: Strengths and limitations of current data bases

Fig 5. (a) Sample-size-based rarefaction (solid line segments) and extrapolation (dotted line segments) sampling curves for species richness with 95% confidence intervals (shaded areas) for Copepoda in the main surface current systems of the SPO. The symbols of each curve represent the reference samples. CHC = Cape Horn Current; EAC = East Australian Current; HCS = Humboldt Current System; SEC = South Equatorial Current; SPSG = South Pacific Subtropical Gyre; WWD = West Wind Drift. (b) Map of each main surface current system of the SPO. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0306440.g005 PLOS ONE Biodiversity of copepods in the South Pacific PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0306440 July 11, 2024 12 / 28
