Figure 2.
The magnitude of the effect of developmental temperature on thermal indices (Tpref and CTmax) in reptiles (a) concerning age class of thermal physiological measurement (b), climate zone (c) and taxon (d). Mean meta-analytic ARR estimates (circles) with their 95% confidence intervals (thicker error bars) and prediction intervals (thinner error bars). Data points from each study from the meta-analysis are scaled by precision (inverse of s.e.), and k is the number of effect sizes with the number of species in brackets. ARR is the acclimation response ratio. Ninety-five per cent confidence intervals not overlapping 0 are statistically significant. Graphs were constructed using the orchaRd package [50]. Tuatara was removed for visual purposes due to the small number of effect sizes (n = 3).
