Figure 5From: Plio-Pleistocene sea level and temperature fluctuations in the northwestern Pacific promoted speciation in the globally-distributed flathead mullet Mugil cephalusThe distribution of three cryptic species of Mugil cephalus in the northwestern Pacific. (A) the proportions of the three species in various locations; coloured lines indicate sea surface temperature in the NW Pacific in December, which is the period of reproductive migration of Mugil cephalus; (B) the distribution range of NWP1 and location of the China Coastal Current; (C) the distribution range of NWP2 and location of the Kuroshio Current; (D) the distribution range of NWP3 and location of the South China Sea Current.Back to article page
