1 ESM: S1: Table of colour patterns and ecological traits, their definitions, measures used and possible values Morphology Ecology Social behavior Trait Definition Measures Values Spot Roughly circular marking, a distinct colour from the surrounding skin Size of spot relative to fish s total eye size. Size of spot relative to fish s pupil Larger =1 Equal or smaller =0 Position on fish s body (3 possible locations) 0 = Anterior or mid 1 = posterior Eyespot Spot with a concentric coloured outer ring (i.e. an ocellated spot). Total size (pupil + ocellus) relative to fish s real eye Larger =1 Equal or smaller =0 Eyespot pupil Circular mark at the centre of the eyespot Pupil size relative to fish s real pupil Larger =1 Equal or smaller =0 Eye stripe Marking that contrasts in colour to the surrounding skin and touches the eye, extending at least halfway across the face. Size is no wider than Presence or absence 1 (presence) or 0 (absence) twice the diameter of the eye and not narrower than the pupil. Adjacent eye stripe High contrast stripe that is immediately adjacent to the eye stripe. Colour is distinct from the eye stripe and surrounding skin. Presence or absence 1 (presence) or 0 (absence) Patterns consisting of two or more (to exclude species with only eye stripes) bands positioned along the body. Stripes extend at least halfway along the body and are a different colour to the surrounding skin. Presence or absence Total number 1 (presence) or 0 (absence) Counts Body stripes Vertical: Run dorsal to ventral Total number Counts Horizontal: run anterior to posterior Total number Counts Diagonal: e.g. run ventral anterior to dorsal posterior, includes complex Total number Counts patterns such as chevrons and whorls. Plain Uniform patch of colour (without markings) on >50% of the body. Presence or absence 1 (presence) or 0 (absence) Body length Total body length Maximum Measured in mm Dietary complexity Range of food types eaten Total number of different food types present 1-10 within the diet of a species Obligate corallivory Species whose diet contains >80% hard or soft corals Yes or No Yes (1) or no (0). Habitat depth Species depth Maximum recorded Measured in meters Habitat diversity Number of different habitat types occupied Total number 1-6 Visual habitat complexity Visual heterogeneity of the species habitat Total visual complexity divided by number of habitats occupied 0-5 Reef habitat type Shallow coastal (including estuaries, inner reefs and reef flats) or Presence or absence 0 = shallow coastal offshore, outer reefs (including seaward reefs, reef slopes and drop-offs) 1 = offshore, outer Grouping tendency Solitary, occurs in pairs or small (<15 fish) or large (>15 fish) groups. Grouping or non-grouping 0 = Solitary or in pairs 1 = Small or large groups Sociability index Social tendency of species Total social score divided by number of social categories each species is found in 0-3
