Appendix B. Statistical analyses of soft-coral genets. For each species of soft coral on the reef at Piti Bomb Holes, there are a minimum of two confirmed genets represented by the male and female colonies of Sinularia maxima, S. polydactyla, and S. maxima x polydactyla. We collapsed the species-specific data sets into a gender-specific data set (i.e., n = 2 for each species) in order to assess results using true genets. The mean value of interest in each data set, for each gender, was used as a single data point in various ANOVAs; the results of those analyses are presented below. Significantly, none of our assumptions in the manuscript are changed, even with the substantial reduction in replication used here.

The following data are potentially impacted by genet and have been re-analyzed (note degrees of freedom for F values are noted at the end of this appendix):
