Main characteristics of Montastraea cavernosa and Xestospongia muta population at the 11 Saba Bank sites.

All values for densities and signs of stress are based on image analysis of 50 m2 transect surveys at each site and do not correspond to the samples collected for genetic analyses. (n) number of M. cavernosa and X. muta; densities per square meter; percentage of M. cavernosa colonies with tissue loss and overgrowth; and percentage of X. muta with cyclic bleaching or Sponge Orange Band Disease (SOB [49]). No disease was detected in any of the recorded M. cavernosa colonies.

所有密度值与胁迫表征值均基于各站点50平方米样带调查的图像分析结果，且与用于遗传分析的采集样本不对应。(n) 代表M. cavernosa（Montastraea cavernosa，大星微孔珊瑚）与X. muta（Xestospongia muta，桶状海绵）的个体数量；密度以每平方米为单位；统计指标包含出现组织缺失与附着物覆盖的M. cavernosa菌落占比，以及出现周期性白化或海绵橙色带病（SOB[49]）的X. muta个体占比。所有被记录的M. cavernosa菌落均未检测到任何病害。
