Rio Grande Valley Reef: Structure Type Replicate Counts

Allison K. White's dataset records the number of replicates for each structure type in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) reef. The data is stored in a 5.5 KB XLS file. It was last updated on June 4, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Assess the experimental or sampling design of the reef project based on the replicate counts per structure type.
• Compare the relative abundance of different artificial reef structures deployed in the Rio Grande Valley.
• Support meta-analyses of reef monitoring studies by providing a quantitative summary of structural units.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), ensuring quick download and easy inspection.
• Has a clear, permissive license (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse.
• Includes a specific last updated timestamp (2026-06-04 17:28:30).
