Appendix B. Bicolor damselfish size distributions during the 2003 and 2004 experiments and for the 2004 experimental reefs used in the larval trait analyses.

 
   FIG. B1. The distribution of bicolor damselfish body lengths (SL) did not differ significantly between fed and unfed reefs for (a) females and (b) males used in the fecundity analyses for 2003 and 2004 (females: K-S test, D = 0.1, boot–strapped P = 0.6; males: K-S test, D = 0.2, boot–strapped P = 0.3), or for (c) females and (d) males used in the larval trait analyses for 2004 (females: K-S test, D = 0.167, boot-strapped P = 0.8, males: K-S test, D = 0.7, boot-strapped P = 0.8).

 

 
   FIG. B2. Body length was not significantly related to bicolor damselfish density (P > 0.05) during the 2003 and 2004 experiments for either (a) females or (b) males. Similarly, there was no significant relationship between body length and damselfish density (all P > 0.05) for either (c) females or (d) males on the reefs from which larvae were sub–sampled in 2004. Data are mean ±1 SE standard lengths on each reef.
