From: Ecophysiological and behavioural response of juveniles of the Chilean cold-water coral Caryophyllia (Caryophyllia) huinayensis to increasing sediment loads

Figure 2

Mass (A) and calyx diameter (B) variation, mass-specific respiration rates (C) and polyp expansion (D) of juvenile C. huinayensis exposed to C, T1, T2 conditions. Orange boxes display growth of sideways oriented and green boxes of downward oriented corals. The box represents the interquartile range of values, the black horizontal line the median, the whiskers the standard deviations and the black dots the outliers. The significance levels between treatments are indicated as letters, with different letters representing significant differences. In (D) significance letters refer only to the treatments within the category. No differences in growth rate were observed between the intermediate measurement (after 6 weeks) and the final measurement (after 12 weeks).
