Figure 2

Disease, bleaching and mortality of Dendrogyra cylindrus colonies in relation to water temperature. Top – bottom; (a) In situ water temperature (°C), solid black line denotes mean temperature, grey lines reflect temperature from individual sites. Black dotted line = maximum mean monthly temperature during study period (30.41 °C). (b) Number of colonies, bleaching and disease over time. Bars = number of live colonies surveyed during monitoring period, black solid line = bleaching prevalence (number of colonies bleached) during monitoring period, black dashed lines = disease prevalence (number of colonies diseased). (c) Mean % bleaching and mortality in each monitoring period. Bars = number of live colonies surveyed during monitoring period, black solid line = mean bleaching percentage of life tissue area of those colonies (± SE), black dashed lines = mean disease-related recent mortality (± SE).
