Appendix A. Non-manipulated community structure in the interspecific study examining intracohort priority effects.
TABLE A1. Non-manipulated fish community structure on experimental patch reefs used in the study examining intracohort priority effects between Thalassoma hardwicke and T. quinquevittatum. Means (and SE) are given for each of our seven treatments: (1) T. hardwicke without T. quinquevittatum; (2) T. hardwicke and T. quinquevittatum introduced simultaneously; (3) T. hardwicke with T. quinquevittatum introduced 5-d previously; (4) T. hardwicke with T. quinquevittatum introduced 12-d previously; (5) T. quinquevittatum without T. hardwicke; (6) T. quinquevittatum with T. hardwicke introduced 5-d previously, and (7) T. quinquevittatum with T. hardwicke introduced 12 d previously. Surveys were conducted the day immediately before deployment of prior residents in each of two temporal blocks (11 April and 2 May). Values for each treatment are calculated across both temporal blocks. Predator species we suspect as agents of mortality of focal individuals are highlighted in bold, but do not include transient species not captured in surveys that were observed visiting reefs during the course of the study, including Carangidae, Aulostomus chinensis, Botha spp., Cheilinus trilobatus, Saurida gracilis, and Synodus binotatus.
