Extended Data Fig. 4: Mean annual population trends for reef species with different biogeographic affinity in different regions.
From: Continent-wide declines in shallow reef life over a decade of ocean warming
Species trends relative to 2008 were categorised within three biogeographic groupings (tropical >23 °C; warm-temperate >17.5 °C, <23 °C; cool temperate <17.5 °C) for six regions around Australia. a, Northwest: Northern Territory, Western Australian coast north of 27°S. b, Southwest: western coast south of 27°S. c, South: southern coast east to 148°S. d, Northeast: Queensland, Coral Sea. e, Southeast: New South Wales; Victoria west to 148°S; f, Tasmania. In contrast to data presented in Fig. 5, relative abundance for each species and site was calculated using Population Trend Assessment Method 2, as the log ratio relative to site mean across years, then averaged for sites within 1° x 1° grid cells. Shading indicates ±1 SE (assuming a normal distribution across species estimates).
