FIG. 2 in Droughts Reduce Growth Rates and Increase Vulnerability to Increasingly Frequent and Severe Drying Events in an Aquatic Ectotherm

FIG. 2. Projections of male (left) versus female (right) age-length, age-mass, and age-estivation potential relationships for Greater Siren, Siren lacertina, growing on an annual cycle with between 0 and 150 days of moderate drought (—2 PDSI) during the growing season (1 March–31 September, 214 days), with all nondrought days set at 0 PDSI. Estimates of annual accrued length, mass, or estivation potential (solid lines) and 95% credible intervals (dashed lines) are shown based on data from Siren lacertina at Dry Bay collected from 2006 to 2016.
