Population densities of Diadema antillarum in sea urchin
and algal zones at five sites along the north coast of Jamaica.
(Bars = mean population densities; error bars = 1 SE; see
Fig. 1 for site designations.) The size–frequency distribution of
Diadema pooled across all sites (sea urchin zones only)
is shown in the Inset graph with the percent occurrence
of nine size classes based on the maximum test diameter. Size-class
designations represent the following ranges of maximum test diameters:
1 < 20 mm, 2 = 20–29 mm, 3 = 30–39 mm, 4 =
40–49 mm, 5 = 50–59 mm, 6 = 60–69 mm, 7 = 70–79 mm,
8 = 80–89 mm, and 9 = 90–99 mm.
