Table 1 Compilation of temperature impacts experienced by rear-edge and central populations of Scytothalia during the heatwave and translocation experiment.

  1. Ce, central; FRE, former warm rear edge; RE, rear edge.
  2. Impacts were compared for three common temperature stress metrics: maximum temperature; maximum thermal-stress anomaly; and maximum degree heating weeks (Max DHW). Note that only stress anomalies >2.5 °C consistently correspond impact among the different locations.
