The Role of Biofilms Developed under Different Anthropogenic Pressure on Recruitment of Macro-Invertebrates

Microbial biofilms can be key mediators for settlement of macrofoulers. The present study examines the coupled effects of microbial biofilms and local environmental conditions on the composition, structure and functioning of macrofouling assemblages. Settlement of invertebrates over a gradient of hu...
