The height of each bar indicates the relative abundance of the species as a percent of the total foraminifer assemblege. N. pachyderma (left coiling) on the top prefers water colder than 8 degrees centigrade. G. bulloides in the middle prefers waters that are influenced by the Gulf Stream. G. ruber at the bottom figure prefers warm central North Atlantic water.
