Benthic Hard-Substrate Diversity

[John McManus]

There are a lot of benthic surveys (several hundred) summarized on the
ReefBase CD-ROM. If the data is too summarized for your purposes, you could
find the original references there and track down the reports. Look for
ordering details at www.reefbase.org, or contact the ReefBase team at
ICLARM.

Aloha!  I am looking for some recent references for coral and/or other
shallow water hard substrate diversity.  I am particularly interested in
references which include a complete speices list for all taxa (not just
sessile inverts. eg.) and number of individuals of each species.  I have
done a number of literature searches, but there seem to be few papers
which include all taxa (and even fewer that include the data).  The
most recent reference I have for corals is Austin 1980.  Any help
would be greatly apprecaited!

Thanks!
