Fig. 4From: From low to high latitudes: changes in fatty acid desaturation in mammalian fat tissue suggest a thermoregulatory rolePercentage of saturated (SFAs) and monounsaturated (MUFAs) fatty acids as a function of latitude, for pinniped species. Dashed trend lines indicate no significant correlation between latitude and percent of fatty acid, and solid lines indicate significant correlation. These fatty acids were used to calculate the desaturation indexBack to article page
