Modelled age distribution for corals in the Bahamas and western Australia. Ages of preserved LIG corals in the Bahamas (a) and western Australia (b). Modelled corals are only included from the 295 simulations which produced modelled LIG reefs at all sites in the Bahamas and 11 of the 15 sites in western Australia where observed LIG corals exist. Colours correspond to coral site (Abaco Island, pink; San Salvador, blue; Great Inagua, teal; western Australia, grey). Empirical cumulative distribution function (CDF) of all corals in each region is shown in solid grey, with a corresponding y-axis on the right.
