We quantified the differences between individuals relative to within and between individual variation (repeatability) for fertility at intermediate temperatures (intercept) and for the change in fertility with increasing and decreasing temperatures (slopes). Estimates and credible intervals (CI) were extracted from the second set of MCMCglmm models including individual by year slopes. See Supplementary Tables 811 for model details including estimates of repeatability on the expected scale and variance of fixed effects. PSlopeVar  = ratio of the slope variance to the total phenotypic variance.
