Table 1. Habitat predictors used in species distribution models (SDMs).
Number of individual datasets of each type indicated in parentheses. See Table S2 for additional details.
| Predictor dataset types | Datasets | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Seafloor topography (12) | Depth, Slope, Slope of slope, Aspect, Planar and Profile curvature, Bathymetric position index | Seafloor topography metrics derived from bathymetry including depth, slope, structural complexity, exposure, curvature, and bathymetric position index. Slope, slope of slope, and bathymetric position index were calculated at 60 m and 240 m. |
| Benthic habitat composition (7) | Percent cover of Coral, Crustose coralline algae, Macroalgae, Turf, and Soft bottom, Proximity index, Shannon’s diversity index | Percent benthic cover of major cover types, seascape fragmentation/patch isolation, habitat diversity. |
| Geographic (3) | Latitude, Longitude, Distance to shore | Geographic location and distance from shore. |
| Oceanographic (1) | Wave Power | Wave height × wave period. |
