Brain volume of fish in the two temperature treatments. Boxplots illustrating differences in whole-brain volume (A) and that of its functional regions (B, dorsal medulla; C, cerebellum; D, hypothalamus; E, optic tectum; F, telencephalon) for fish acclimated to warm (20°C, red circles; N=30) and optimal temperature (14°C, blue circles; N=28). Displayed data are raw measurements not corrected for Mb and whole-brain size of individuals. Central lines represent the median, box limits are 25th and 75th percentiles and whiskers cover the 95th percentiles. Filled circles represent individual data points.
