Drifting algal mats as an alternative habitat for benthic invertebrates: Species specific responses to a transient resource.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Results show that drifting algae at times can harbour very high abundances of invertebrates, surpassing invertebrate densities recorded in seagrass communities, and the importance of drifting algae as a stress factor and as an alternative habitat for benthic fauna increases.
