Fig. 4: Assessment of assignment consistency into top- and bottom-performing colonies comparing in situ colonies to their nursery counterparts based on screening effort (number of assayed colonies).
From: Species-specific retention vs. recovery of coral thermal tolerance following nursery propagation

a October 2022 and b March 2023. Colonies were ranked by their ED50s, subsampled to different sample sizes, and it was assessed whether the top and bottom five colonies were consistent between in situ and nursery corals. Mean overlap indicates the mean number of wrongly assigned colonies. SE = standard error.
