Community structure of coral-associated fauna of reefs in the Chagos Archipelago
- Abstract:
-
The aim of this study is to assess the biodiversity of the reef cryptofauna (with a focus on the decapods, Crustacea) on dead coral microhabitats, and to begin to understand the processes underpinning their community structure in the Chagos Archipelago.
