   Notes: Within some density treatments, the number of females and males differed between replicate reefs due to uncontrollable damselfish behavioral responses during the first 48 hours following transplantation from natural reefs. Time-averaged density treatments, and the corresponding number of females and males for each, were binned according to the integer value closest to the time-averaged estimates. n = number of replicate reefs for each density treatment.
