Figure 6

Survival probability as a function of shell size of Perna canaliculus of different ages (6, 8 and 10 weeks post-fertilisation) and from six genetically diverse families (A-F). Mussels were exposed to a three-hour thermal challenge at 34 °C followed by recovery for 44 h at 18 °C. Solid coloured points denote the mean observed survival rates at different size ranges in the experiments. Solid coloured lines and shaded areas denote the mean and 95% percentile interval of the posterior predictions of the size model, respectively. Each panel shows data and predictions for different developmental stages (A): 6 weeks post-fertilisation; (B): 8 weeks post-fertilisation; (C): 10 weeks post-fertilisation). Each plot within a panel corresponds to a different family as denoted on the labels.
