Figure 2

Percentage of coral colonies in the Gulf of Oman with visibly immature and mature eggs (a) and sea temperatures (b) during 2013 and 2014.

Coral species surveyed were Acropora downingi (i), Acropora hemprichii (ii), Cyphastrea microphthalma (iii), Platygyra daedalea (iv). Note that for (iv), immature eggs could not be distinguished from an absence of eggs. Sample sizes are provided in italicized text above columns and asterisks indicate months when no surveys were undertaken. Sea temperatures are the monthly average preceding each full moon during the coral spawning season in 2013 and 2014 in the Gulf of Oman. Monthly minimum and maximum values and annual trends are provided in the Electronic Supplementary Material.
