Comparison of the distribution of settlers of D. marginatus and D. aruanus among corals with and without conspecific adults presented as the percent of settlers observed on each coral category.

Values are based on the data which were documented in the corals of each category during an entire recruitment event from all settlers of the species at the same event. The distribution of each fish species is represented separately for each recruitment event. The expected random distribution is actually the percentage of coral colonies of each category from all tagged colonies. The expected distribution when all S. pistillata are excluded is also provided. n = the total number of settlers of each species per event. The results of χ2 test comparing the observed and expected distribution of selected corals is provided for each species at each recruitment event among all tagged corals (critical χ2 = 7.815; α 0.05) Dm = D. marginatus; Da = D. aruanus; Sp = S. pistillata.本研究所有数值均基于同一次完整补充招募事件中，该物种所有定居个体所在各分类群珊瑚的记录数据。每种鱼类的分布情况均按单次补充招募事件单独呈现。理论随机分布实际为所有标记珊瑚群体中各分类群珊瑚所占的百分比。本文同时提供了剔除所有S. pistillata后的理论分布情况。n代表单次招募事件中各物种定居个体的总数量。针对所有标记珊瑚中，各物种在单次招募事件里选定珊瑚的观测分布与理论分布，本文提供了卡方检验（χ² test）的结果，临界χ²值为7.815，显著性水平α=0.05。其中Dm代表D. marginatus，Da代表D. aruanus，Sp代表S. pistillata。
