Figure 2.
Developmental and adult responses of PE/PC to temperature covary across but not within life stages. A) Developmental plasticity is significantly and positively correlated with the response of adults shifted to 16°C, and B) with the response of adults shifted to 26°C. C) Adult responses to upward and downward thermal shifts do not significantly covary with one another. Plasticity is calculated as the difference between line means as: developmental plasticity = dev16°C - dev26°C, adult plasticity (shift to 16°C) = adult16°C - dev26°C, and adult plasticity (shift to 26°C) = dev16°C - adult26°C. Points represent mean plasticity +/− s.e. for each genetic line.
