Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Mediterranean Shallow Coastal Fish Communities Along a Gradient of Marine Protection

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Mediterranean Shallow Coastal Fish Communities Along a Gradient of Marine Protection

The importance of habitat factors in designing marine reserves and evaluating their performance over time has been regularly documented. Over three biennial sampling periods, we examined the effects of vegetated coverage and habitat diversity (i.e., patchiness) on fish density, community composition...
