a–c across taxonomic groups (Tuna: n = 8; Billfish: n = 5; Other: n = 2, where n represents the number of taxa in this category) and b–d across life history strategies (Slow: n = 8; Fast: n = 4; Unknown: n = 3, where n represents the number of taxa in this category). Variation in the means of the two indices across taxa is illustrated using box plots with bounds from 25th (Q1) to 75th (Q3) percentiles, a solid line indicating the median, and whiskers extending to ±1.5 × Interquartile Range (IQR). Outliers are represented as points beyond the whiskers.
