Fig. 3. Survival and growth of juvenile coral settlers translocated to shallow and mesophotic depths.

Fig. 3

Kaplan–Meier survival curves of coral settlers originated from a mesophotic-reef Stylophora kuehlmanni larvae (n = 84 and 80 for the shallow and mesophotic translocations, respectively); b shallow-reef Stylophora pistillata larvae in 2018 (n = 218 and 217 for the shallow and mesophotic translocations, respectively); and, c shallow-reef S. pistillata larvae in 2019 (n = 198 and 178 for the shallow and mesophotic translocations, respectively). Dashed lines indicate 95% confidence interval. Box plots in each panel show the size of the surviving corals at the end of each experiment (as the data points), with center lines indicating the medians, boxes indicating the lower and upper quartiles, and whiskers indicating 1.5x interquartile range. Significant differences in the survivorship and growth between depths were found in all experiments.
