Abstract

Spatial covariance on the background fish community at the start of experimental runs in Moorea, French Polynesia from 2003-2015.

This dataset is from a manipulative experiment the relative competitive abilities of juveniles of three closely related species of reef fish (bird wrasse, Gomphosus varius; fivestripe wrasse, T. quinquevittatum; and the sixbar wrasse, Thalassoma hardwicke).

Site locations:

Teaharoa West: 17 28.397’S, 149 47.592’W
Teaharoa East: 17 28.260’S, 149 47.118’W
