Posterior parameter estimates for (a) the relationship between climate change vulnerability and pre-/post-bleaching change in fish abundance among sites in the Seychelles and (b) the relationship between fishing vulnerability and climate change vulnerability

Parameter Mean Median 95% CI
(a)
 β0 0.79 0.81 0.13, 1.43
 β1 −3.24 −3.25 −4.71, −1.78
 τ 0.91 0.89 0.58, 1.30
(b)
 β0 5.04 5.02 3.52, 6.57
 β1 −7.65 −7.64 −14.52, −1.00
 β2 1.12 1.16 −5.09, 7.64
 τ 0.29 0.32 0.23, 0.36

Coefficients in (a) are for a normal linear-model fit and in (b) for a second-order polynomial fit using a log-Normal distribution; τ is the posterior precision; CIs are Bayesian posterior 95% credible intervals; β values not overlapping zero provide strong evidence of a positive or negative relationship.
