Low dynamics, high longevity and persistence of sessile structural species dwelling on Mediterranean coralligenous outcrops.

There is still limited understanding of the processes underlying benthic species dynamics in marine coastal habitats, which are of disproportionate importance in terms of productivity and biodiversity. The life-history traits of long-lived benthic species in these habitats are particularly poorly do...
