Methodology: 

To assess plot colonization by benthic macroalgae, photographs of each plot were analyzed for the percentage cover of macroalgae using ImageJ (version 1.8.0_121).

Sampling and analytical procedures: 

Macroalgal colonization of polycultures and monocultures of each species were compared with permutation analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a post hoc permutation test for multiple comparisons using the R package predictmeans.
