Fig 5. Empirical trends in predator biomass with and without mangrove nurseries.

The relationship with habitat complexity (A) and differences in the variance in biomass among sites within a mangrove treatment (B). Panel (A) includes regression fits, where the significant regression for mangroves absent is predator biomass, (log10) = 3.20 + 0.589 * rugosity. The reef site protected from fishing is shown with an open square. Panel (B) presents boxplots of variance in carnivore biomass with median and interquartile range.
