Anthropopause positively influenced Red Sea Clownfish (Amphiprion bicinctus) populations but not the host sea anemone (Actiniaria spp.) in Eilat, Israel
The anthropopause, when humans were restricted to their homes because of the COVID-19
pandemic, allowed wildlife to reoccupy areas that were previously used by humans. The …
