Figure 4

Evolution of the structural complexity from 2005 to 2016 on the west side of Mo’orea (French Polynesia). Perturbations included a predatory sea star (Acanthaster cf. solaris) outbreak from 2006 to 2009 and a cyclone in February 2010. Photographs illustrate the reefscapes in (a) 2005, (b) 2011 (unhealthy reef) and (c) 2016 (healthy reef).
