Standardized underwater visual census surveys were conducted during the day and at night at 54 reef sites distributed throughout tropical (n = 30) and temperate (n = 24) regions spanning the Australian continent. Diel variation in reef faunal assemblages was assessed using the Reef Life Survey (RLS) methodology (Edgar et al. 2020), during day and night periods between November 2020 and May 2023.
