The Effect of Decreasing Temperature on Arthropod Diversity and Abundance in Horse Dung Decomposition Communities of Southeastern Massachusetts

Figure 4

Plots of arthropod abundance (a) and diversity (b) as functions of temperature. Each of the graphs demonstrated an increasing linear trend with increasing temperature (𝑦=2.84𝑥−17.63,   𝑟²=0.715 (a) and 𝑦=20.05𝑥−219.67,𝑟²=0.521 (b)).
