Global stony coral occurrence points & estimated species diversity

<br>"all_points.csv" includes occurrence records of stony corals; it was originally downloaded from Global Biodiversity Information Facility and Ocean Biodiversity Information System, then cleaned and reshaped. This data was used to analyze geographical patterns of stony coral diversity: Kusumoto, B., Costello, M. J., Kubota, Y., Shiono, T., Wei, C. L., Yasuhara, M., &amp; Chao, A. (2020).
