Fig. 1: A between-realm comparison of planktivorous fishes.

a, Survey locations (n = 1,131) mapped using an Eckert IV projection, with points jittered for clarity. Points are coloured and shaped by realm, with blue circles representing the Indo-Pacific and brown triangles representing the Caribbean. b,c, Fish biomass (b) and fish productivity (c). Circles represent the median value of the posterior distribution; thick coloured bars indicate the 50% credible intervals, and thin coloured bars indicate the 95% credible intervals. Sites: Indo-Pacific n = 1,052, and Caribbean n = 79. Each plot (b and c) shows the PP of the Indo-Pacific (IP) being greater than the Caribbean (Car). d,e, Examples of planktivorous fish species from each realm, Caesio cuning, (Lutjanidae) (d) and Chromis multilineata (Pomacentridae) (e).
