Fig. 5: Marine reserve effects on carnivore and herbivore biomass before and after coral bleaching.
From: Changing role of coral reef marine reserves in a warming climate
For fished (top) and protected (bottom) reefs, density curves are the posterior distributions of carnivore (blue) and herbivore (green) biomass before (a) and after bleaching for recovering coral (b) and regime-shifted (c) reefs. Vertical lines indicate median biomass, with short lines indicating median 1994 biomass on post-bleaching (b, c). See Supplementary Figs. 7–9 for pre- and post-bleaching posterior distributions at each reef, Supplementary Fig. 10 for posterior distributions including 2017 survey data, and Supplementary Fig. 11 for observed biomass trends.
