The MacKinnon Lists Technique: An efficient new method for rapidly assessing biodiversity and species abundance ranks in the marine environment

Supporting information S1 Table. Chao 2 species richness estimative for all samples within each habitat and rate of change in richness estimate. (DOCX) S1 Dataset. Data set showing mean relative abundance per video deployment across status, site and depth (MaxN). (XLSX) S2 Dataset. Data set showing lists of species per video across status, site and depth (MLT). (XLSX) Acknowledgments We thank Dianne McLean (nee Watson) for access to imagery from her PhD. The imagery was collected with logistical support from the Department of Fisheries Western Australia and the West Australian and Australian Governments Natural Heritage Trust initiative through the Northern Agricultural Catchment Council.
