Rossi et al. 2016 Proc B - dataset

The excel file contains 8 sheets. The first four sheets contain the data used for a specific figure in the manuscript. The name of the sheet identifies which figure the data represent (Fig. 1A,1B,2,3). The last four sheets contain the water chemistry data reported in table S1

Dryad data Harborne et al Oikos OIK-02602

The spreadsheet contains three worksheets. The first two sheets provide the raw field data that was input into the linear mixed-effects models to generate Table 1 and 2 and Figs 2 and 3. Variables are separated into explanatory and response variables, and the labels are self-explanatory. Collection methods are described in the paper. The third sheet provides the outputs of the simulation model that was plotted to create Fig 4. Model design and parameterisation are described in the paper

Results of linear mixed-effects models for fish biomass of nursery as well as all species with reserve presence and isolation from nurseries as crossed fixed effects and site as a random factor.

In this excel files the data are organized in 5 sheets (1) contains the data behind the power spectrum of White Island (2) contains the mulloway fish auditory preference data (3) contains mulloway otoliths size (4) contains the water chemistry data recorded during the rearing period of mulloway in the lab (5) contains the water chemistry data recorded on the vents at White Islan

Results of SIMPER analysis for nursery species, showing which species best explained differences in fish community between sites close to vs. isolated from nurseries (average dissimilarity = 53.2).

Fish biomass in marine reserves vs. fished areas with different proximity to nurseries (close vs. isolated).

<p>Mean total biomass per 100 m² (±standard error) across reef sites is shown for the entire size range (A) of nursery species and all species, and split (B, C) for small (≤25 cm total length) and large (>25 cm total length) fish. The black arrow indicates the reserve effect in absence of nurseries, whereas the dashed arrow indicates the nursery habitat effect in fished areas on small individuals of nursery species.</p

Map of the study area.

<p>Numbers 1–9 show the sampled reef sites (O) in fishery reserves (marine park zone) and in fished areas (non-reserves). Reef sites close (<1 km distance) to nursery habitats are site # 1, 2, 3, and 7, while those isolated (>3.5 km distance) from nurseries are site # 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9; site # 3 falls completely within the small northern marine park zone. The position of the replenishment zones (line fishing allowed on fish>20 cm in body length) and the environmental zone (no fishing of any kind allowed) is also indicated. Location of the various zones was obtained from the Cayman Islands marine park brochure. Grey represents land mass.</p

Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling plot for biomass of nursery species.

<p>The plot shows the ordination of the fish community at reef sites (numbered 1–9, see Fig. 1) that differ in fishery protection (reserve vs. fished) and nursery proximity (close vs. isolated).</p
