Summary of the effects of growth rate, swimming speed, and seasonal stratification on δ18Oarg variability in free swimming organisms. Each panel has a summary kernel density plot on the right axis to illustrate the total distribution of δ18Oaragonite in each modeled field and represents the expectation for a population-level distribution where serial sampling was not done. With increasing swimming speed or faster growth rate, δ18Oarg variability is expected to decrease (right panels). Seasonal water column variability is expected to skew δ18Oarg toward more positive values with occasional low values (bottom panels)
