(a) Translocation source and recipient sites along west coast of Australia. Red lines represent translocations that experienced the highest thermal-stress anomalies, green and blue lines represent low stress anomalies and procedural controls. Numbers next to line specify the maximum stress anomaly experienced by each treatment (b) Stress anomalies experienced by Scytothalia in Jurien Bay at the FRE during the 2011 marine heatwave (black) and for the transplant and control populations during the experimental period (red). Bold lines illustrate the stress anomalies, where severe impacts to Scytothalia were observed. Dull lines represent the stress anomalies of locations and treatments where no impact was observed. Dashed lines illustrate 0 and 2.5 °C stress anomalies. Note that impacts only occurred where stress anomalies reached 2.5 °C. (c) Time series of mean daily temperatures in the three study locations. Dashed lines illustrate the maximum summer temperature for the three locations (averaged from 2006 to 2013).
