Coral Reefs (2020): Appendix 1, Appendix 2: the role of the recruitment niche in mediating post-settlement success.</p> <p>These data are a continuation of BCO-DMO project 562086 (http://www.bco-dmo.org/project/562086) and BCO-DMO project 752508 (https://www.bco-dmo.org/project/752508).</p>本数据集收录2016年2月及3月，美属维尔京群岛圣约翰岛拉梅舒尔湾内珊瑚冠层内外的石珊瑚（Scleractinian coral）计数结果。 本数据集用于验证Tsounis等人发表于《Coral Reefs》2020年刊的假说2，该研究附录1与附录2的主题为招募生态位在调控定居后生存成功率中的作用。 本数据集为BCO-DMO项目562086（http://www.bco-dmo.org/project/562086）与BCO-DMO项目752508（https://www.bco-dmo.org/project/752508）的延续研究数据。
