(b) Shows areas containing high proportions of threatened and “climate change-susceptible”, and not threatened and “climate change-susceptible” coral species (yellows) (expressed as the percentage of species in these categories relative to the total number of species occurring there). High concentration areas indicate those with the top 10%, 5% and 2.5% of values, and when these were not distinguishable, the nearest appropriate percentages were used” (IUCN).
