Influence of competition on survival.

Effects of interspecific competition on the proportional survival of (a) Pomacentrus moluccensis and (b) P. amboinensis on unbleached or bleached coral habitats when exposed to elevated or current day CO2 levels. Kapalin-Meier survival trajectories illustrate the different survival trajectories on patches of live unbleached or live-bleached Pocillopora damicornis hard coral. Individual fish were placed in size-matched pairs on the habitats (n = 25–29). Photographs: Mark McCormick.
