Abstract:Seagrass habitats are considered essential in supporting both fish diversity and fisheries income. Within the Mediterranean Sea most fish species are associated to seagrasses and constitute the subject of extensive literature. However, a complete synthesis of fish species observed in different seagrass habitats is still lacking at the whole-basin Mediterranean scale, so hindering a thorough understanding of the main functional traits and mechanisms involved in determining fish diversity patterns. We performed … Show more
