Fig. 1

Panels A and B show mass-adjusted maximum metabolic rate (MMR), standard metabolic rate (SMR) and cost of transport (COT) of Lutjanus ehrenbergii and Scolopsis ghanam, respectively. Note, there are no data for Gulf of Oman S. ghanam at 35.5 °C as no individual could be acclimated to this temperature. Each box depicts median, 25 and 75 percentiles, and dashed lines depicts cross-temperature responses. Raw data are shown as circles behind each box, with n = 43 and n = 40 for L. ehrenbergii and S. ghanam, respectively. Error bars depict 95 percentiles and significant differences within metrics are marked by lower case letters. Source Data are provided in Supplementary Data 1.
