Figure 3.
Functional richness of the more and less attractive fishes. (a) Functional richness (FRic) of groups of fishes ordered by descending or ascending attractiveness from 4 to 169 fishes. The grey line shows the mean expected FRic for groups of randomly sampled fishes (see Methods ‘Functional richness of more and less attractive species’), and shaded areas represent the standard deviations (more than 1,000 replications). Fishes shown left to right and top to bottom are as follows: Naso brevirostris, Caranx melampygus, Echeneis naucrates, Lutjanus bohar, Dascyllus trimaculatus, Macolor niger juvenile, Chlorurus sordidus male, Pseudanthias squamipinnis male, Sargocentron caudimaculatum and Acanthurus triostegus. Photographs: Randall, J. E. from FishBase.org. (b) Functional space filled by the 4, 10, 20, 30 and 40 most and (c) least attractive fishes.
