Patterns in community alpha diversity. (a) Average Simpson’s index by treatment. Box colors represent the type of stressor combination applied to the corals: none = teal, single = yellow, double = purple, triple = red. No pairwise treatment comparisons were significant, however, several main effects and interactions were significant in the linear mixed effects model (Supplementary Table S3), including the interaction between scarring and temperature. (b,c) Interaction plots of interaction between scarring and temperature on Simpson’s Index visualized two ways.
