Effects of warming on the biomass and body mass of zooplankton.

<p>(<b>a</b>) Total biomass of the zooplankton communities, estimated for each mesocosm, on each of the seven sampling months, was not significantly different between the warmed and ambient treatments (<a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002324#pbio.1002324.s013" target="_blank">S1 Table</a>). (<b>b</b>) Consistent with that observed in the whole community, biomass estimates of cladocerans and copepods were also statistically indistinguishable between treatments (<a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002324#pbio.1002324.s013" target="_blank">S1 Table</a>). Tops and bottoms of boxes in box-whisker plots correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles, horizontal white lines correspond to medians, and whisker extents correspond to 1.5 x the interquartile range. The data underlying these analyses can be found in <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002324#pbio.1002324.s001" target="_blank">S1 Data</a>.
