a, Species sorted by mean intracellular phosphate concentrations. Column colour indicates the sampling region; n represents the number of biologically independent samples measured for each species. Each sample contained between one and 75 individuals, depending on the size of the species (Supplementary Table ST2). Grey crosses indicate data for individual samples. Error bars are 1 s.d. b, Log–log plot of individual intracellular phosphate content versus mean cell volume of the sample. Each data point represents one sample. Depending on the average body size of the species, each sample contained between one and 75 individuals (Supplementary Table ST2). Black dashed line indicates the correlation found for foraminifera from the Peruvian OMZ1. Anox., anoxic incubation; ox., oxic incubation.
