(a) Bleaching sensitivity of coral genera based on the posterior likelihood of being healthy. Predictions are displayed for the extremes of the depth range specific to each coral genus (i.e. upper and lower depth local limits). Cases with less than 25 replicates per depth and/or less than 100 replicates total were removed. (b) Bayesian prediction probability of the likelihood of corals to be healthy, pale, bleached or dead as a function of depth. The most bleaching-tolerant coral genera are Echinophyllia and Pachyseris. The most bleaching-sensitive genera are Acropora and Astrea. Porites, Leptoseris, Pocillopora and Montipora are the most common genera in the coral assemblages of the surveyed sites.
