Extended Data Fig. 3

Principal Coordinates Analysis of habitat structure scored from photoquadrats on 4,070 reef surveys (a). The primary axis of variation from macroalgae (kelps and fucoid algae) to corals explains 22% (PCO1), with the subsequent axes explaining 19% (PCO2) and 17% (PCO3) of total variation. Two dimensional representations of PCO1 versus PCO2 (b), and PCO1 versus PCO3 (c) distinguish temperate (black symbols), tropical (red symbols) sites.
