Ridge Plot from Scientific Research

Density plots of zooplankton body mass distribution in the environment within size range commonly consumed by the myctophids, grouped into 1 C temperature bins. Dashed lines represent abundance-weighted average body mass. Y-axis indicates central temperature value for each bin. Values in brackets indicate number of hauls. Note: in panel b, large prey sizes (above approx. -2 log 10 g) are present at all temperatures but extremely low abundance relative to smaller organisms prevents them from being visible. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
