Examples of response curves showing the relationship between the predicted likelihood of habitat suitability for Lophelia pertusa (y-axis) and the values (x-axis) for datasets describing environmental conditions. Higher values for the likelihood of habitat suitability correspond to environmental conditions more likely to support deep-sea corals.
