  1. Parameters were fitted simultaneously with each model adaptive and acclimation capacity scenario (\(A=\left\{0,2.5,5\right\}\)) containing 68 estimated parameters. Given each model contains the same number of parameters the likelihood is used to discern relative model parsimony. Overall, \(A=5\) was the most likely model though this was negligibly so and all models were similar in their ability to describe the data. A full breakdown of likelihood contributions and computed data variability arising from each management site is available in Supplementary Table 1. Parameter estimates and their standard deviations are provided in Supplementary Table 6. Headings within table are presented in bold.
