Number of species in IUCN 2008 Red List categories for modern reef-building coral genera of the Indo-Pacific region. (IUCN categories are data-deficient: (dd), least concern (lc), near-threatened (nt), vulnerable (vu), endangered (en) and critically endangered (cr) with the sum of the number of species within each taxa (spp). Percentage of threatened species within a taxa (thr) includes all non-data-deficient species listed as vu, en or cr. IP indicates Indo-Pacific.)
