The taxonomical and trophic structures of the vagile fauna communities of the leaf stratum in
a Posidonia oceanica meadow at Ischia (Gulf of Naples, Italy) were investigated at five …

This research was designed (1) to examine the role of predatory decapod crustaceans as an
organizing force in prey distribution and abundance patterns, and (2) to compare the …

Investigations were carried out in a Posidonia oceanica meadow at Ischia (Gulf of Naples)
along a depth gradient from 1 to 32 m in November 1979 and May 1981. In these two …

Observational studies and experimental manipulations of grazing intensity were used to
examine the role of herbivorous fishes in determining abundances and seasonal variations …

Variation in the abundances of epifaunal organisms living on the large brown alga
Sargassum was quantified for 13 months. For most taxa, abundances of epifauna were …

The invasion and expansion of the Indian Ocean seagrass Halophila stipulacea into the
Eastern Caribbean raises the question of how local seagrass communities respond to this …

This study evaluated the hypothesis that phytal amphipods are less susceptible to predation
by fishes when on highly branched, morphologically complex algal hosts than when on …

Laboratory experiments showed that the three epifaunal amphipods Cymadusa cornpta,
Grandidierella bonnieroides, and Melita elongata, normally associated with seagrasses, are …

Seagrass plants with associated macrofauna were confined within transparent Perspex
tubes in the field at two Western Australian sites, Cliff Head and Seven Mile Beach, and …

The effects of 1 fish and 3 decapod crustaceans were examined in laboratory and field
predator enclosure experiments in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, USA. Results of …
