In order to identify both the 3 magnitude and shape of Reaction Norms (sensu Pigliucci, 2001) plasticity is calculated both 4 within the whole temperature range examined in this study (P10-25) (red arrow) and within 5 smaller temperature intervals (P10-15, P15-20, P20-25) (blue arrows). In the first case, plasticity is 6 calculated as the difference between mean values of either oxygen consumption rate (ṀO2) or 7 Upper Thermal Limits (UTL) measured at the two extreme incubation temperatures tested, 8 while in the second case it is calculated as the difference between either mean ṀO2 or mean 9 UTL measured at two consecutive incubation temperatures. 10 11 Figure S2 Bayesian majority-rule consensus phylogram of the combined 12S rDNA, 16S 12 rDNA, 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA and H3 data set. Bootstrap values (1000 replicates) for 13 nodes obtained by parsimony analysis are indicated by numbers placed above the nodes. Only 14 values equal to or greater than 60 are shown. Types of habitat are indicated by letters placed 15 next to species names: B stands for broader/more stable thermal niches, while N indicates 16 species characterised by narrower/more stable thermal niches. ‘*’ indicates that, whilst P. 17 macrodactylus can occupy broad thermal niches, this species actually occurs in subtidal 18 habitats. However, for the purpose of our work, this species is classed among those occupying 19 broader/more variable thermal niches. 20 21 Figure S3 The effect of temperature on UTL, measured as (a) Loss of Orientation (LO) and (b) 22 Death (D), and (c) UTL plasticity in the prawn species investigated in this study: Palaemon 23 elegans, Palaemon macrodactylus, Palaemon serratus, Palaemonetes varians, Crangon 24 crangon and Pandalus montagui. Histograms represent mean ± SE for UTL after 7 d exposure 25 to one of four incubation temperatures: 10 (yellow), 15 (light orange), 20 (dark orange) and 6 1 25 °C (red). Significantly different mean UTL (p < 0.05) at different incubation temperatures 2 for the same species are indicated by different letters placed above the histograms, while 3 significantly different mean UTL (p < 0.05) at the same incubation temperature among 4 different species are indicated by different numbers placed inside the histograms. Finally, 5 overall significant differences in mean UTL (p < 0.05) among different species are indicated 6 by different numbers preceded by a star placed at the top of the graph above each species. 7 Pairwise comparisons were conducted using the Estimated Marginal Means test with Least 8 Significant Difference test correction. Lines in (c) represent Upper Thermal Limits– 9 Temperature (UTL–T): i.e. the patterns through which species increased their UTL in 10 response to increasing incubation temperature according to the best-fit regression model. UTL 11 are measured as LO (grey) and D (black). Raw data, regression equation and relevant 12 statistics for UTL are provided in Figure S5. 13 14 Figure S4 The relationship between temperature and ṀO2 for the prawn species investigated 15 in this study.
