Description

Observations (ROV video images collected using a Seaeye Lynx 1500 during the months of November 2009, and May and June 2010) and occurrence probability (maximum entropy prediction) in La Fonera canyon head of Madrepora oculata, Dendrophyllia cornigera and Corallium rubrum. Maximum entropy prediction of habitat suitability was performed with Maxent software, version 3.3.3k available online, using the bathymetric parameters described in Lastras et al. 2015 (10.1371/journal.pone.0155729) in combination with ROV positive observations of the three coral species. The parameters used were depth, gradient, rugosity, curvature, and fine scale and broad scale bathymetric position indexes. Data included is represented in Fig. 9A, B and C of Lastras et al. 2015.
