There is an error in Table 1. Several asterisks in Table 1 (in the two columns indicating percentage change) are wrong. Please see the correct Table 1 here. The publisher apologizes for the errors.

Table 1. Information on coral juvenile abundances and percentage hard coral cover at Aldabra between 2014 and 2019.

Asterisks indicate significant differences between years; n.a. = not available.

b Percentage of pre-bleaching value reached in 2019

c Significant changes based on previous work conducted at Aldabra [34]; note, displayed here are mean coral cover values and the respective percentage changes and not back-transformed model estimates and the respective percentage changes shown in previous study [34].
