Fig 3. Bullfrog larvae reduced the absolute relative growth of Pacific chorus frog larvae under simulated future conditions.

Relative growth represents the proportion of the initial body length (snout-vent length [SVL]) obtained during the experimental period. Under historic (cooler, less evaporation) conditions, no effect of bullfrogs was observed on growth of chorus frogs. Under future conditions, bullfrog presence reduced growth of chorus frog larvae (t-ratio = 2.254; df = 2,35; p = 0.0304; marked with an asterisk in plot). Boxplots are standard boxplots, with median and standard quartiles ± 1.5*IQR whiskers.
