Fig. 2. No apparent trait trade-offs associated with overall coral colony heat tolerance.

Associations between colony heat tolerance (average BSI through time) and either corrected growth metrics (c – live surface area growth, and e – volumetric growth) or colony fecundity (d – eggs per colony, and f – total egg volume per colony). Example 3D models used to measure growth are shown for a single colony (a), and microscope images of eggs which were counted and measured to determine fecundity are also shown (b). Each plot shows the median and 95% credible interval of intercept (β₀) and slope (β₁) parameters of linear regressions, where a negative slope would reflect a trade-off, however weak positive associations are present for growth (c, e).
