Figure 6

Yield values (PAM measurements) of the genus Elysia compared to Plakobranchus ocellatus. Y is the yield value of chloroplasts' photosynthesis that has been measured every day after capture of animal. Y is plotted against the days of starvation. Trendlines are calculated in Excel. In every figure the species with the longest measured ability of chloroplasts' function, Plakobranchus ocellatus, is shown as reference. Black trendlines indicate no functional retention. Trendlines of species that had short-term retention are blue. Trendlines of species with long-term retention are green. For better clarity standard deviation and mean values are not included.
