Panels A and B shows regressions of standard metabolic rate (SMR) and cost of transport (COT) of Lutjanus ehrenbergii and Scolopsis ghanam, respectively, as estimates of total costs of living. Blue, orange and red lines and markers represent pooled 27.0 °C, 31.5 °C and 35.5 °C data. All regressions have significant positive slopes highlighting increasing cost of living with size. Dissimilar letters denote significant differences in slope, while dashed lines depict estimated 95 confidence intervals. NS denotes non-significance. Source Data are provided in Supplementary Data 1.
