In corals, most studies testing for an effect of competition on demographic traits, such as growth, have been experimental and often impose very high levels of competition upon colonies. To more realistically assess the role of competition on coral traits, multispecies studies in the wild are required. Here, we use 5\u00a0yr of data that includes 11 coral species on the reef crest at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef to quantify the effect of competition on growth. Additionally, we test whether species differ in their susceptibility to direct\u2010contact (overgrowth and digestion) and overtopping competition, and whether species from some morphological groups are more likely to compete with one another than with species from other morphological groups. We also investigate the relationships between competitive ability and three key traits: growth rate, mechanical stability and fecundity. In contrast to most previous work using field manipulations of competition, we found a negligible effect of competition on growth.\n                    <jats:italic>Acropora<\/jats:italic>\n                    species consistently won overtopping encounters but lost in direct\u2010contact encounters, and these results were consistent among the four\n                    <jats:italic>Acropora<\/jats:italic>\n                    morphological groups. In contrast, the massive\n                    <jats:italic>Goniastrea<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. were poor at overtopping but generally won direct\u2010contact encounters. Only tabular colonies were disproportionally more likely to compete against one another than with other morphologies. This propensity increases intraspecific relative to interspecific competition, a phenomenon that can promote coexistence when it is present among dominant competitors. Good competitors grew more quickly and had higher fecundity but were less mechanically stable, implying a tradeoff between performance during disturbance vs. performance in the absence of disturbance. We conclude that competition among adults is less likely to influence community dynamics than previously thought. If competition does have an effect, it is more likely to occur at life\u2010stages other than adults.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ecy.2222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,23]],"date-time":"2018-03-23T00:50:00Z","timestamp":1521766200000},"page":"1347-1356","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Negligible effect of competition on coral colony growth"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"99","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1295-6897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana","family":"\u00c1lvarez\u2010Noriega","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science and Engineering James Cook University Townsville Queensland 4811 Australia"},{"name":"ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies James Cook University Townsville Queensland 4811 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew H.","family":"Baird","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies James Cook University Townsville Queensland 4811 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Dornelas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Biological Diversity Scottish Oceans Institute University of St. Andrews St. Andrews KY16 9TH UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua S.","family":"Madin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology University of Hawai'i at M\u0101noa 46\u2010007 Lilipuna Rd Kaneohe Hawai'i 96744 USA"},{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Macquarie University Sydney New South Wales 2109 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sean R.","family":"Connolly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science and Engineering James Cook University Townsville Queensland 4811 Australia"},{"name":"ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies James Cook University Townsville Queensland 4811 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jembe.2006.10.048"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ecy.1588"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0904512106"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-0981(00)00209-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00396901"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/tpbi.1997.1331"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3354\/meps342139"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-94-007-0114-4_20"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.ecolsys.31.1.343"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-5347(02)02482-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1933500"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.199.4335.1302"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1890\/0012-9615(1997)067[0461:AYSOCA]2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1890\/02-4043"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00301691"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rspb.2017.0053"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rsos.170082"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/285270"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","first-page":"67","article-title":"Short\u2010term aggressive behavior in scleractinian corals from La Blanquilla reef, Veracruz Reef System","volume":"49","author":"Ferriz\u2010Dom\u00ednguez N.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Revista de Biologia Tropical"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5962\/bhl.title.4489"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2745.2000.00450.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/283244"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_1","volume-title":"Population biology of plants","author":"Harper J.
