Results from the GLMM analyses showing the best models for taxon richness of sessile epibenthic animals (SA), mobile epibenthic animals (MA), endobenthic animals (EA) and all animals (AA) with fixed effects for census methods (M2 and M3), tsunami (T) and their interactions.

The models used site as a random effect (1|Site) controlling for the possible influence of site-specific conditions. Results of Chi-square tests against the null model and coefficients of the best models with the standard deviations are shown.
