Coefficients of random‐slope models for the effects of the vertical intertidal environmental stress gradient (average change) on SESFRic and SESFDis at four rocky shore sites and over 3 years. SESFRic and SESFDis were calculated according to Mason, Wiser, et al. (2013). For each estimator of functional diversity, the coefficients represent the net change from high‐ to low‐intertidal heights at each site and sampling time. The coefficients were calculated from the full models in Table 2. Wi and Su are austral winter and summer, respectively
