Figure 1: a) The percent coral cover of Acropora spp. and other coral species over the four surveyed years (note irregular survey interval 2018-2022 due to Covid19). Boxplots depict median, interquartile range (25-75th percentile), and whiskers include values within 1.5 x interquartile range. Black dot and bar on boxplots depict mean coral cover ±SEM. Letters denote groupings from Tukey’s post-hoc pair-wise comparisons, with similar letters denotating non-significant differences. White values are number of encounters. b) The probability of an encounter (i.e. fish <1 m apart) between two fish having an aggressive outcome (i.e. a chase or display). Probabilities have been log transformed to enable visualisation, so that a value of 0 represents a focal follow where 100% of encounters had an aggressive outcome, and a value of -1 (or inf) indicates a focal follow with 0 aggressive interactions. Black dot and bar on boxplots depict mean coral cover ± SEM, while boxplots depict median, interquartile range (25-75th percentile), and whiskers include values within 1.5 x interquartile range. Dashed line marks the mass coral bleaching event.
