In the North GBR, 32 individuals were sampled from 2 reefs; in the Central GBR, 54 individuals from 9 reefs and in the southern GBR we sampled 27 individuals from 3 reefs. Furthermore, 8 individuals were sampled from the Herald Cays in the Coral Sea. The map was produced using the package “maps” in the R statistical environment75.
