Our data illustrate that, in the absence of strong seasonal variation in water temperature in the tropics, variation in salinity driven by rainfall becomes a primary controlling variable onV. vulnificus abundance. There is thus a tendency for a rainfall-driven seasonal cycle inV. vulnificus abundance which is inverted from the temperature-driven seasonal cycle at higher latitudes.
