Ronald H. Karlson, Sean R. Connolly, and Terence P. Hughes. 2011. Spatial variance in abundance and occupancy of corals across broad geographic scales. Ecology 92:1282–1291.

Appendix C (TABLE C1). Relative residuals (RSSE2) in variance and occupancy predictions for 15 metacommunities in comparisons using both variance and occupancy data. Corrected 95% bootstrap confidence intervals (CL) correspond to a rejection criterion of P = 0.003. A significant difference in the residuals is indicated in bold.
