Extended Data Fig. 4: Non-conservative analyses of gelatinous versus non-gelatinous Caribbean planktivorous fishes.
From: Missing planktivore functions drive global variation in reef fish productivity
a) Density, c) biomass, and e) productivity, as well as their corresponding predicted b, d, and f) size distribution. a, c, and d) Circles represent the median value from the posterior distribution, thick coloured bars represent the 50% credible intervals, and the thin coloured bars the 95% credible intervals. Each plot a, c, d) shows the posterior probability (PP) of non-gelatinous planktivores (NG) being greater than the gelatinous planktivores (G). b, d, f) Black lines represent the mean prediction from the posterior distribution, with the shaded ribbons representing the 95% credible interval, note both axes are on the log10 scale, and x axis restricted to observed planktivore size distribution. All figures are coloured by primary prey type; red non-gelatinous and purple gelatinous. Sites: a, c, e) non-gelatinous n = 79 and gelatinous n = 79; Within-site size-class observations: b, d, f) non-gelatinous n = 169 and gelatinous n = 51. See Supplementary Table 1 for non-conservative species categorisation.
