Fig 4. Drivers and patterns of mean max body size in the Indo-Pacific.
(A) Relative contributions of the main drivers explaining variation in body size were generated from 100 iterations of BRTs. (B,C) Partial dependence plot (lines), observed values (dots), and 95% confidence intervals for SST (B) and distance to nearest market (thresholds represented by breaking point [C]). (D) Prediction values of body size (top 5% values, >108 cm, in red). The numerical values for (A) can be found in S2 Data. BRT, boosted regression tree; Dist market, distance to nearest market; Dist pop, distance to nearest population; Dist seamount, distance to nearest seamount with summit depth of <1,500 m; SST, sea surface temperature.
