Figure 2

Pairwise comparison of morphological traits between Avicennia schaueriana seedlings from equatorial and subtropical sites grown using a common garden experiment. Violin plots represent the distribution of observations for plants from equatorial (red) and subtropical (blue) sampling sites. Box plots represent the mean, standard error, and maximum and minimum values. (a) Leaf inclination angle (n = 15 leaves per group, 5 plants per group); (b) individual leaf area (n = 250 leaves per group, 3 plants per group); (c) vessel lumen diameter (n = 180 vessels per group, 3 plants per group); (d–f) leaf, stem and root dry weight (n = 15 plants per group); and (g–i) leaf, stem and root dry mass ratio (organ-specific dry biomass/plant dry biomass) (n = 15 plants per group). For all variables represented in the figure, the absence of a difference between groups was rejected using unpaired Student’s T-tests or the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon U-tests (b,c), at a significance threshold of 0.05.
