Fig. 1.

The fertile range of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The upper, middle and lower lines of the box represent the third, second and first quartile, respectively (second quartile = median). The ‘whiskers’ represent the minimum and maximum of the range, unless they differ more than 1.5-times the interquartile distance from the median, then the 1.5-times interquartile distance around the median is indicated by the ‘whiskers’, and outliers are shown as open circles. a Sporulation efficiency in % determined in crosses of ALP714 × ALP688 at 11 °C after 14d (n = 7), at 16 °C after 7d (n = 6), at 20 °C after 5d (n = 5), at 25 °C after 3d (n = 6), at 30 °C after 2d (n = 6) and at 33 °C after 2d (n = 6). b Cumulative spore viability in % encompassing all data in Fig. 3 at 11 °C after 14d (n = 11), at 16 °C after 7d (n = 64), at 20 °C after 5d (n = 46), at 25 °C after 3d (n = 75), at 30 °C after 2d (n = 48) and at 33 °C after 2d (n = 59).
