  		Fig. 2. Relative change in mean critical thermal maxima Tcrit,max for developmental plasticity, adult acclimation and combined plasticity groups within the acclimation temperature treatments, expressed as change from the mean of the 25°C group. Asterisks indicate a significant effect of the acclimation relative to the 25°C group by one-way ANOVA (P<0.05). Lower and upper error bars represent minimum and maximum values, respectively.

  		Fig. 3. Relative change in mean critical thermal minima Tcrit,min for developmental plasticity, adult acclimation and combined plasticity groups within the acclimation temperature treatments expressed as change from the mean of the 25°C group. Asterisks indicate a significant effect of the acclimation relative to the 25°C group by one-way ANOVA (P<0.05). Lower and upper error bars represent minimum and maximum values, respectively.

  		Fig. 4. Relative change in mean water loss rate for developmental plasticity, adult acclimation and combined plasticity groups within the acclimation temperature treatments expressed as change from the mean of the 25°C group. Asterisks indicate a significant effect of the acclimation relative to the 25°C group by GLM (covariate: dry body mass; P<0.05). Lower and upper error bars represent minimum and maximum values, respectively.

  		Fig. 5. Relative change in mean metabolic rate as indicated by CO2 production for developmental plasticity, adult acclimation and combined plasticity groups within the acclimation temperature treatments, expressed as change from the mean of the 25°C group. Asterisks indicate a significant effect of the acclimation relative to the 25°C group by GLM (covariate: mean experimental body mass; P<0.05). Lower and upper error bars represent minimum and maximum values, respectively.
