The Effects of Sub-Regional Climate Velocity on the Distribution and Spatial Extent of Marine Species Assemblages.

While species in shallow-water assemblages 1N are moving west-southwest (Figs 3B and 4B ), possibly tracking cooler bottom temperatures in the southwestern Gulf of Maine ( S5 Fig ), overall there is no significant relationship in terms of latitudinal climate velocities in the fall ( Fig 6C ; r 2 = -0.05, p > 0.05), and only a weakly significant relationship in the spring ( Fig 7C ; r 2 = 0.34, p < 0.01).
