These numbers come from web analytics and reflect real user activity on the site. They reliably show dataset usage and are mostly free of bot traffic.

Each coral in each plot was visually examined from all sides and the percentage tissue mortality
was estimated and assigned in 10% classes (0, 10 and 20% and so on, up to 100%).

These data are depicted in Figure 2b of Clements and Hay (2019).

These data was also funded through: 
National Institutes of Health (2 U19 TW007401-10)
Teasley Endowment to the Georgia Institute of Technology
