Fig. 3

a Bootstrapped acclimatization potential of each genotype showing high heritability of acclimatization potential (n = 1000 per genotype). Boxplots include first and third quartiles, median line and whiskers at ±1.5 interquartile range, compared using a one-way ANOVA. b Basal thermal tolerance was quantified for each genotype as the ED10 during stress testing in corals from the control pre-exposure (i.e., no previous heat treatment) and compared with the acclimatization potential, defined as the difference in DHW between constant high and control ED10 using a linear regression. Points are colored by phenotype; the gray line represents overall relationship and shaded area is 95% CI of linear regression fit. There was no significant relationship for either phenotype when analyzed separately. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
