Table S1. Supplementary reef site and data source information. N = number of replicates per survey. Sample unit is measurement type & dimensions (note: Cylinder dimension is radius). Survey targets: A = all non-cryptic species, H = herbivores, P = predators, R = researcherdefined guild, S = single species. N/A = information not obtainable. Note that the sample size contributed by each study equals the number of reef sites × the number of species within the relevant time period. * Data not provided to species Data source 1
