Aggression
The proportion of passive and aggressive interactions differed
significantly over the years (Figure 1a, ꭓ-square test,
ꭓ2 (3)= 24.8, P< 0.0001).
This difference is driven by a decline in probability of aggression in
2017 compared to 2016 (Pairwise comparison: ꭓ2 = 23.6,
P< 0.0001). By 2022, six years after significant reduction in
resources due to coral mortality, levels of aggression had returned to
those seen before the bleaching event (Figure 1a).
