Size-structures of populations of the mushroom coral Fungia fungites: the role of disturbance.

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

Changes in the size-structure of populations of the mushroom coral Fungia fungites were quantified at two reefs in the Dampier Archipelago during four annual surveys from April 1998 to April 2001. Exposure to disturbance was predicted to affect the size and frequency of life history stages of polyps at each reef and their variability through time.
