Fish functional guild composition and behaviour between exposure regimes: Differences (Mean ± SE). in (a). Rarefied species richness (richness. transect−1) (b). Biomass (kg.100 m−2) and (c). Bite rates (bites. min−1.m−2) between exposure regimes (sheltered and exposed reefs, n = 12). Herbivores are classified into 5 guilds as: Browsers, Croppers, Detritivores, Excavators and Scrapers (ESM Table 1). Total transect area is 235.6m2 (see methods).
