The transparent points represent coral colonies. Bright colored points represent the mean and error bars show the standard error of the mean (s.e.m). Lines denote the thermal performance curve estimated by the Sharpe-Schoofield model and the shadow area around the fitting line is the 95% confidence interval estimated using bootstrapping method. The number of experiments included were nP.verrucosa = 12 and nAcropora spp. = 7. The number of biological replicates included in each experiment is given in Supplementary Table 6.
