Fig. 3From: Haploid females in the isomorphic biphasic life-cycle of Gracilaria chilensis excel in survivalSeasonal dynamics of the age, size and density-dependent survival (φ) of G. chilensis individuals with fronds. Seasons are spring-summer (spr-sum), autumn (aut) and winter (win). Each panel (a, b and c) corresponds to a range of algal stand density (V). The φ is shown in the left y-axis and its corresponding finite survival rate (s) in the right y-axis. Individuals were grouped according to their ages as < 8 month (young) or > 8 month (old). Frond volume (v) given in cm3. The line-fits with poor non-linear correlation coefficients (R2 < 0.5) were replaced by their group mean. Only groups with sufficient data for reliable estimates are shown. Panels (a, b) share the same scales. Panels (b, c) share the same legendBack to article page
