Patterns of establishment and subsequent change in the structure of a marine epifaunal community.

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

Artificial substrata were used to investigate the patterns of establishment and change in the structure of a subtidal, marine epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria from October 1975 to November 1979. Sessile invertebrate species and mobile species that significantly affected the distribution and abundance of the sessile species were the focus of the study. Experiments examining variability in recruitment and community development, species competitive ability, and the effects of predation on the epifaunal community at Portsea are outlined in the related records.
