Linear model results testing the trends in taxon diversity (Shannon Index) with mean Pacific Decadal Oscillation index (mean PDO), mean North Pacific Gyre Oscillation index (mean NPGO), mean El Niño Southern Oscillation index (mean ENSO), mean and standard deviation of the Biologically Effective Upwelling Transport Index index (mean and sd BEUTI, respectively), mean daily sea surface temperature (Mean SST), mean daily maximum air temperature (Max Air Temp), and years since the sea star wasting disease epidemic (Yr Since SSWD).

Model terms meeting the Bonferroni cutoff of P < 0.002 are in bold, and for these we subsequently tested the bivariate correlation of each significant term with diversity (bold indicates a bivariate correlation > 0.10).
