Fig. 4: Life-table prediction of temperature sensitivity for six groups of Indo-Pacific fishes.

Temperature sensitivity is quantified as the log₂ ratios of annual population growth for 1 °C temperature increase and for baseline temperature (log₂ \(\frac{{R_0}}{G}\) ratios). Relationships between the temperature sensitivity and generation time are shown for 100 fish populations with empirical body growth and maturation data (a) and 1265 populations with empirical body growth data and model-derived age-at-maturation data (b). A histogram of the log₂ \(\frac{{R_0}}{G}\) ratios (n = 1265 populations) (c). Boxplots of log₂ \(\frac{{R_0}}{G}\) ratios with proportions of log₂ \(\frac{{R_0}}{G}\) ratios < 0 by groups (n = 1265 populations) (d). The lower bounds, centers, and upper bounds of the boxes, respectively, correspond to the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile of data values within each group. The whiskers extend to the most extreme data point no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range of data within each group.
