Table 1. Relationship between radial colony count and distance from focal colony.

Relationship between count of radial Pocillopora damicornis and Seriatopora hystrix colonies and distance from focal P. damicornis and S. hystrix colonies using generalized linear mixed effects models. “Maximum distance” is the distance up to which radial colonies were considered.
