Figure 9.4. Pairwise comparisons of species richness of reef fish, pelagic larval duration (PLD), and distance from the Indonesian/Philippine
center of diversity (IPR) for Labridae (a,b,c) and Pomacentridae (e,f,g). The result shows that dispersal ability increases with distance from the
center, suggesting that community composition of reef fishes is largely determined by distance from the center and the ability of species to
disperse. Reprinted from Mora, Chittaro, Sale, Kritzer, and Ludsin (
