Fig. 5

Rarefied-richness affects bleaching response (coral bleaching response index or taxon- BRI) in 123 coral species. a Probability distribution functions of rarefied richness at increasingly higher rarefaction depths with increasingly smaller species-sets. b Correlation between rarefied-richness and bleaching response for subsamples at increasingly higher rarefaction depths, indicating that corals associated with Symbiodiniaceae assemblages with higher number of phylotypes show an increased risk of coral bleaching. All correlations are significant (p < 0.02), see Table S3 for phylogenetic signal assessments
