Linear mixed effects model results (coefficients with one standard error) for reef fish abundances relative to mangrove coverage, human population density, and latitude.

Shown are final models of best fit as determined by Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). “Mangrove area” is hectares of mangrove cover (rank transformed) and “Human population density” is people per square kilometer (rank transformed). See S2 Table for initial models. Table results presented here are from the model with the highest AIC weight. See “Remarks” for notes about evidence for other competing models. See S3 Table for more information on those models. R2 are adjusted R2. na = variable was not in best approximating model.
