Fig. 2: Temperature effects on life-history traits for the Indo-Pacific fishes.

The bivariate relationships between temperature deviation (deviation from the species-specific mean sea surface temperature, SST) and each life-history trait are examined using linear mixed-effect models (K, L_∞, M (at A₅₀), L₅₀, b, A₅₀, and A_max, a–g). Thick black lines represent the tendency lines of the fixed effect of SST deviation (solid and dashed lines, respectively, correspond to significant and non-significant fixed effects), and thin gray lines are the tendency lines for individual species. The vertical lines of data points at mean temperature (anomaly ~0 °C) reflect either a large number of single-population species or reef fishes with narrow ranges of habitat temperatures in our data.
