Distribution of ostracod species at IODP Site 347-M0059

A total of 143 sediment samples from the upper 53 mcd were processed for ostracod analysis at IODP site M0059. All abundances are expressed as single ostracod valves.
The species are listed in the order of increasing salinity and water depth based on published ecology data (Frenzel et al., 2010): columns J-K - freshwater and oligohaline coastal taxa; columns L-N - oligohaline and euryhaline (taxa found in a wide range of salinities from oligohaline to mesohaline, polyhaline and euhaline), very shallow and shallow water; columns O-T - meso- to euhaline taxa, very shallow and shallow, coastal and open sea; columns U-AB - meso to euhaline taxa, shallow-water to deep, open sea; columns AC-AD - poly and euhaline deep-water open sea taxa; AE - euhaline deep-water open sea taxa.
