Appendix E. Graphs of the observed size frequency distributions of colonies and predicted size distributions of Paramuricea clavata at Medes Islands and Cap de Creus.

FIG. E1. Observed size-frequency distributions of colonies and predicted size-distributions at two study populations, Medes Islands and Cap de Creus. Observed distributions were estimated during the first year of study. Predicted distributions were calculated by iteratively multiplying a population vector consisting of one new established colony and other entries as zeros by population projection matrices for each site to obtain the stable stage distribution (SSD).
