From: A framework to understand the role of biological time in responses to fluctuating climate drivers

Case 2: Multiple driver responses. (A) Modelled responses (colour scale) at a specific clock (t\({^*}\) = 40) and biological times (τ\({^*}\) = 1), showing an interactive effect only in the biological time frame. (B) Interaction plots of the responses for specific levels of temperature and a second driver showing that the effect high temperature mitigates the negative effect of the second driver on the response. The response was modelled with as a sigmoidal function R = exp(−t\({^*}\)φ) with φ = 0.1[1 + exp(m2/2)]−1 to produce a strong gradient in the range of m2 = 25–30 units. The biological time was modelled based on the effect of temperature on the development of marine organisms33 as so that t\({^*}\) = τ\({^*}\) exp[−22.47 + 0.64/(k(m1 + 273)], i.e., using the Arrhenius equation with k: Boltzmann constant (≈ 8.617 10–5 eV K−1).
