Diel variation of the epibenthic community associated with seagrasses in a subtropical biosphere reserve

We evaluated the diel variability of abundance and species diversity of the epibenthic community associated with seagrasses in Los Petenes Biosphere Reserve (LPBR) in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. For this purpose, four collection campaigns were conducted (rainy season: October 2011 and June 2016...

Zusammenfassung:We evaluated the diel variability of abundance and species diversity of the epibenthic community associated with seagrasses in Los Petenes Biosphere Reserve (LPBR) in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. For this purpose, four collection campaigns were conducted (rainy season: October 2011 and June 2016, dry season: March 2012 and 2016) in a diel cycle with a periodicity of 3 h. Our results showed significant differences in diversity, richness, and abundance as a function of the diel cycle (p
