From: Climate change-driven cooling can kill marine megafauna at their distributional limits

Extended Data Fig. 1

a) The percentage of time at temperature and depth bins based on PSAT-tag recordings for sharks tagged in the Breede River, South Africa: when in the Breede River, the upwelling zone, and past the upwelling zone, in the subtropic/tropics. b) Percentage of time at temperature and depth bins recorded by acoustic transmitters during detections for sharks tagged in Sydney Harbour, Australia: when inside Sydney Harbour (green), outside in the vicinity of Sydney Harbour, the upwelling zone, and past the upwelling zone, in the subtropic/tropics.
