The influence of the rock mineralogy on population density of Chthamalus (Crustacea: Cirripedia) in the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean Sea)
Settlement, recruitment and survival of sessile marine species are driven by many biotic and abiotic factors. Among them, substrate mineral composition is generally a neglected topic, despite it proved to be a relevant contributing variable in driving the structure of benthic communities. Thanks to...
