Previous schemes for the biogeographic structure of the study area.
Schemes produced by previous authors (2–5, 9–12). These are based on maps in each publication except for (2), whose scheme was reconstructed from the text.
Figure 2.
Optimal configuration of major clusters of sites: whole fauna and reef fishes.
Optimal configuration of major clusters of sites based on betasim dissimilarity dendrograms and evaluation curve fitting A: whole fauna, colored areas indicate 3 major clusters; %/n in colored circle indicates % of species unique to that cluster and no. species in the cluster; n = total number of species; each dendrogram is a schematic based on the corresponding whole dendrogram in Figure S3, indicating relationships between the major clusters; black lines outline sub-clusters based on cutting the dendrogram in Fig. S3A at 1/3 the maximum beta-sim value (see text). B–F cluster patterns for subsets of the whole fauna: endemic and non-endemic members of the whole fauna, reef fishes (all, endemic, non-endemic).
Figure 3.
Optimal configuration of major clusters of sites: soft bottom species and pelagic species.
Optimal major clusters of sites based on beta-sim dissimilarity dendrograms and evaluation curve fitting (see methods). A–F cluster patterns for subsets of the whole fauna. A–C: all soft bottom species, and their endemic and non-endemic members; D–F: all pelagic species, and their endemic and non-endemic members; %/n in colored circle indicates % of species unique to that cluster and no. species in the cluster; n = total number of species; each dendrogram is a schematic based on the corresponding whole dendrogram in Figure S4, indicating relationships between the major clusters.

Optimal configuration of major clusters of sites: marine species and non-marine species.
Optimal major clusters of sites based on beta-sim dissimilarity dendrograms and evaluation curve fitting (see methods). A–F cluster patterns for subsets of the whole fauna. A–C: all marine species, and their endemic and non-endemic members; D–F: all non-marine species, and their endemic and non-endemic members; %/n in colored circle indicates % of species unique to that cluster and no. species in the cluster; n = total number of species; each dendrogram is a schematic based on the corresponding whole dendrogram in Figure S5, indicating relationships between the major clusters.
