In each habitat, the area with the highest fish species diversity was sampled, i.e. the reef crest, the seagrass edge, and the mangrove edge (in this study mangroves were represented by clear-water mangroves). Four timed swim transects were conducted at each sampling location. Each transect consisted of a 20 minute timed swim recording any fishes > 10 cm in total length on a 5 m wide belt transect. This was followed by a 10 minute timed swim as the diver swam back towards the starting point surveying fishes < 10 cm within a 1 m wide transect. In all cases surveys were swum at a constant pace and averaged approximately 235 m in length for the 20 minute swim and 117 m for the 10 minute swim. In total, 108 surveys were conducted (46 reef, 36 seagrass, 26 mangrove). All abundance data were standardised to the number of individuals in each family per 100 m2. The functional data was based on allocating fishes into one of 14 broad functional entities based on body size (above or below 10 cm) and feeding guild (herbivorous/detritivorous, herbivorous-macroalgae, invertivorous-sessile, invertivorous-mobile, planktivorous, macroinvertebrates and fish, and omnivorous).This data set contains abundance data on fishes and functions from mangrove, seagrass and coral reef habitats in the Caribbean and Great Barrier Reef&rft.creator=Bellwood, David &rft.creator=Hemingson, Christopher &rft.date=2017&rft.relation=http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/ecog.03010&rft.coverage=-81.240368702569,19.635282629696 -81.347897791537,19.633172497841 -81.449471712035,19.599865654943 -81.535147701019,19.538604649399 -81.596539195747,19.455358688546 -81.627636768975,19.358249917532 -81.625396373566,19.256768536321 -81.590037315033,19.160849676862 -81.525020784385,19.079900227169 -81.43671105264,19.021871205505 -81.33375249163,18.992469139988 -81.226223402663,18.994587557837 -81.124649482164,19.028017932328 -81.03897349318,19.089470531393 -80.977581998452,19.172902966123 -80.946484425224,19.27012186388 -80.948724820633,19.371594958892 -80.984083879167,19.467390284359 -81.049100409814,19.548148139252 -81.13741014156,19.605990688649 -81.240368702569,19.635282629696&rft.coverage=-64.770731671316,18.010021741056 -64.862126793333,17.994599963902 -64.944037814849,17.9530662807 -65.008446714368,17.889469892887 -65.049048700045,17.810016401554 -65.061869366629,17.722467918146 -65.045653737948,17.635389102608 -65.00198911272,17.557310710888 -64.93514968869,17.495891854019 -64.85167817438,17.457164054482 -64.759745343191,17.44493347816 -64.668350221174,17.460402620932 -64.586439199659,17.502050613035 -64.522030300139,17.565784591516 -64.481428314463,17.64534640028 -64.468607647879,17.732932553673 -64.484823276559,17.819964002752 -64.528487901788,17.897928084368 -64.595327325818,17.959209350665 -64.678798840127,17.997828834034 -64.770731671316,18.010021741056&rft.coverage=-68.381556475998,12.487059547493 -68.479775801983,12.448933140432 -68.56112166219,12.383023919628 -68.617631357053,12.295765587021 -68.643773323913,12.19568328637 -68.636988604911,12.092565348405 -68.597941335615,11.99650826513 -68.530453734802,11.916927260621 -68.441131959054,11.861629839281 -68.338719446123,11.836044886695 -68.233241046323,11.84268527205 -68.135021720338,11.880898735959 -68.053675860131,11.94693257392 -67.997166165268,12.034305484775 -67.971024198408,12.134448559128 -67.97780891741,12.237550252066 -68.016856186706,12.333520276842 -68.084343787519,12.412976663593 -68.173665563267,12.468159507966 -68.276078076199,12.493683688241 -68.381556475998,12.487059547493&rft.coverage=145.46292490583,-14.631749361828 145.44870224283,-14.632561002949 145.43543490448,-14.637585355233 145.42442159029,-14.646330336389 145.4167403602,-14.657939545463 145.41314310651,-14.671276238709 145.41398195349,-14.685034736954 145.41917478895,-14.697868307641 145.42821330197,-14.708520975446 145.44021273993,-14.715950365193 145.45399851422,-14.71942959068 145.46822117722,-14.718618271768 145.48148851557,-14.713595780123 145.49250182976,-14.704853487336 145.50018305986,-14.693246767494 145.50378031354,-14.679911413543 145.50294146656,-14.666152593089 145.4977486311,-14.653317161763 145.48871011808,-14.642661805588 145.47671068013,-14.635229926609 145.46292490583,-14.631749361828&rft.coverage=146.48672535017,-18.57170342812 146.46788172667,-18.578037513404 146.45202528033,-18.589580650551 146.44070815058,-18.605202003393 146.43503813693,-18.623371561602 146.43557025983,-18.642310246045 146.44225243138,-18.660164255087 146.45443055407,-18.675186509714 146.47091254841,-18.685907442611 146.49008504194,-18.691278499624 146.51007129742,-18.69077444063 146.52891492092,-18.684444555909 146.54477136726,-18.672907860629 146.55608849702,-18.657292730384 146.56175851066,-18.639126798682 146.56122638776,-18.620187759451 146.55454421621,-18.602329549844 146.54236609352,-18.587300853348 146.52588409919,-18.576573697856 146.50671160565,-18.571199014338 146.48672535017,-18.57170342812&rft.coverage=Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (19.3222° N, 81.2409° W)&rft.coverage=Bonaire, Dutch Antilles (12.2019° N, 68.2624° W)&rft.coverage=St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (17.7246° N, 64.8348° W&rft.coverage=Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia (14.6680° S, 145.4617° E)&rft.coverage=Orpheus Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia (18.6376° S, 146.4982° E&rft_rights=&rft_rights=CC BY 4.0: Attribution 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0&rft_subject=biogeography&rft_subject=Caribbean&rft_subject=Indo-Pacific&rft_subject=ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies&rft_subject=Marine and Estuarine Ecology (incl.

Brief description

This data set contains abundance data on fishes and functions from mangrove, seagrass and coral reef habitats in the Caribbean and Great Barrier Reef

Full description

Data were collected from the Caribbean and the Great Barrier Reef to quantify the taxonomic and functional composition of fish assemblages that characterise coral reef, seagrass and mangrove habitats, in order to explore the potential effects of biogeographic history and environment on assemblage composition. In each habitat, the area with the highest fish species diversity was sampled, i.e. the reef crest, the seagrass edge, and the mangrove edge (in this study mangroves were represented by clear-water mangroves). Four timed swim transects were conducted at each sampling location. Each transect consisted of a 20 minute timed swim recording any fishes > 10 cm in total length on a 5 m wide belt transect. This was followed by a 10 minute timed swim as the diver swam back towards the starting point surveying fishes < 10 cm within a 1 m wide transect. In all cases surveys were swum at a constant pace and averaged approximately 235 m in length for the 20 minute swim and 117 m for the 10 minute swim. In total, 108 surveys were conducted (46 reef, 36 seagrass, 26 mangrove). All abundance data were standardised to the number of individuals in each family per 100 m2. The functional data was based on allocating fishes into one of 14 broad functional entities based on body size (above or below 10 cm) and feeding guild (herbivorous/detritivorous, herbivorous-macroalgae, invertivorous-sessile, invertivorous-mobile, planktivorous, macroinvertebrates and fish, and omnivorous).
