Table 2. 8 × 8 survey results converted to radial survey results.

Relationship between count of radial Pocillopora damicornis colonies and distance from focal Pocillopora damicornis colonies using the data from the 8 × 8 m surveys. “Threshold size for focal colony” is the size above which surveyed colonies were designated “focal” and below which colonies were designated “radial.” “Maximum distance” is the distance up to which radial colonies were considered.

Threshold size for focal colony	Maximum distance	Slope	z value	p-value
15 cm	0.50 m	−0.0064	−0.46	0.65
	1.0 m	−0.0063	−1.5	0.14
	2.0 m	−0.0034	−3.6	<0.0005
20 cm	0.50 m	0.047	1.2	0.23
	1.0 m	0.00032	0.045	0.96
	2.0 m	−0.0016	−1.09	0.27
