Fig. 2. Effect of temperature on mesohyl destiffening. In this and all subsequent figures ectosome (ECT) results are coloured blue and choanosome (CHO) red, vertical bars represent standard deviations and asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between means: ^*P<0.05, ^**P<0.01, ^***P<0.001. Although all deflections were measured at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 h, in this figure the means for the different groups have been staggered to avoid overlap.
