Figure 4: Breadth of functional roles played by fish communities in different categories of areas.

From: Marine reserves lag behind wilderness in the conservation of key functional roles

Figure 4

Functional space filled by fish communities in (a) areas at <3 h of travel from the market, (b) areas at >20 h from the market, (c) no-take small marine reserves, (d) no-entry, old and large marine reserve, (e) traditionally managed areas at <5 h from the market and (f) traditionally managed areas at 19 h from the market. The 50% contour lines represent the functional space filled by fishes in >50% of the communities for a given category of area. The ecological meaning of the functional space is given in g. The percentage of the total functional space filled by fish communities is given in Supplementary Table 4 and the details on the traits are provided in Supplementary Fig. 6.
