FIGURE 7 Swimming velocity of diploid and triploid responders for each startle stimulus per temperature treatment. Swimming velocity of diploid and triploid larvae reared and measured at 23.5°C (A), 26.5°C (B), 29.5°C (C) or reared at 29.5°C and measured at 23.5°C (D). Each value represents an individual larva that responded to the startle stimulus, where blue points represent diploid larvae and red points represent triploid larvae. Over all the effects of ploidy level (ANOVA, p < 0.05), temperature treatment (ANOVA, p < 0.05), stimulus number (ANOVA, p < 0.001), and length (ANOVA, p < 0.001) were significant. The effect of ploidy was also analyzed for a subset of each temperature treatment, comparing a model with and without ploidy level included. Ploidy was significant for larvae reared at 29.5°C and measured at 23.5°C (p < 0.001, n = 60).
