(a) Ridgeline plot of significantly different evolution (χ2 = 19.846, df = 1, p = 8.394 · 10− 6) and misconception (χ2 = 24.147, df = 1, p = 8.925 · 10− 7) scores of respondents employed or in training as biologists compared to other occupations. (b) Levels of agreement with statements reflecting common misconceptions between age groups with the U-shaped relationship between misconception score and age described by a quadratic polynomial regression model (R² = 6.57%, F = 8.825, p = 1.978 · 10− 4). (c) Misconception scores of current or graduated students in high school, trade or vocational education, and university (excluding biologists) also differed significantly (χ2 = 30.188, df = 2, p = 2.785 · 10− 7)
