Area (m2) of Acropora pulchra observed during island-wide surveys regressed against (a) distance to shoreline (m) and (b) % N tissue content of Turbinaria ornata collected from each site. (c) Mean area (m2) ± SE of A. pulchra observed on each island shore (large solid points). Individual points represent raw data; black lines for (a) and (b) are fitted linear model trendline with 95% confidence intervals (gray shading). For (c), points that share a letter are not statistically different per post hoc analyses. Data shown are from the 43 sites where A. pulchra (> 10 cm) was observed during surveys conducted in May of 2016. Statistics are from linear mixed effects models.
