Fig. 6. Depth-generalist species abundances and overlap in community structure.

(A) Species densities of the four depth-generalist coral species common to shallow (left) and deep (right) reefs in Bermuda. (B) Proportion of the four depth-generalist species of the overall coral community on shallow and deep reefs in Bermuda (with the proportion of other species indicated in white). Shading behind pie graphs indicates the proportion of species with vertical connectivity potential: M. cavernosa (25), S. intersepta (this study), and O. franksi (based on reproductive mode and depth distribution).
