Functional traits modified from Mouillot et al. (2014). Functional trait Description / biological relevance Trait Categories Body size Defines ecological niche: energy Small: 0 – 25 cm needs; predator-prey relationships; Medium: 26 – 65 cm growth rate; mortality Large: 66 – 120 cm V. Large: > 121 cm Diet Diet impacts trophic interactions; Herb/Omni: mixed diet of plant nutrient cycling; habitat and animal material requirements IC: Benthic and pelagic invertebrates GC: Fish and invertebrate prey Mobility Energy needs; spatial extent to Within reefs: Sedentary, which fish control their resources territorial and mobile within reefs and transfer nutrients Between reefs: Mobile between reefs Level in the water column Influences prey available; nutrient Benthic: Closely associated with transfer benthos Bentho-pelagic: In the water column above benthos Pelagic: Not associated with benthos Gregariousness Escaping predation; impacts local Solitary processes, e.g. schooling fish Pairing massive nutrient cycling and Small groups (3 – 20) resource depletion Medium groups (20 – 50) Large groups (>50) Life stage Indication of the size class; Juveniles important in determining fishing Adults effects Used size at 50% maturity *Herb/Omni: herbivore/omnivore; IC: invertebrate carnivore; GC: general carnivore 3 Table S3.
