The two-factorial analyses test for source and destination effects of transplanted fragments originating from the 'Back Reef' (B) and 'Upper Slope' (U) habitats (note that source effects were never significant). The one-factorial analyses test for source effects of fragments originating from the 'Back Reef' (B), 'Upper Slope' (U) and 'Deep Slope' (D) habitats transplanted to the 'Deep Slope' habitat.
