Fig. 3. Summary curves of normalized area and drag coefficient as functions of
velocity for 10 species of rocky intertidal macroalgae. (A) Each line is
aU, the curve fit of Eqn
2 to pooled data from 35 individuals of each species. (B)
Each line is CU, the curve fit of
Eqn 3 to pooled data from
35 individuals of each species. Species labeled as:
Grateloupia (
),
Laminaria ( ), Petalonia (- -
-), Agardhiella (
),
Scytosiphon (
),
Chondrus (
),
Codium (
), F.
distichus (
), F.
vesiculosus (
) and
Mastocarpus (
). Form
is denoted by the color of the line, where black=blade-like, red=whip-like and
blue=tree-like.
