From: Decreased thermal tolerance under recurrent heat stress conditions explains summer mass mortality of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis

Figure 5

Thermal limits of M. edulis, estimated as the temperature lethal to 50% of individuals (LT50), shown as a function of the number of successive thermal exposures for thermal exposures of 1.5 hours (open dots), 3 hours (grey dots) and 6 hours (black dots). The two open rhombs are the upper LT50 values reported in Sorte et al. (2019) and the black and grey lines the LT50 reported by Jones et al. (2009) respectively in June and November.
