Competitive interactions among zoanthids (cnidaria: zoanthidae) in an intertidal zone of northeastern Brazil

Abstract: A B S T R A C TSessile organisms that live in consolidated substrates frequently compete for space. Coral species have many strategies to face this competition, including harming their opponents or hindering their growth. In the present study, the competitive interactions between three species of zoanthids were investigated in the intertidal zone of a sandstone reef environment in northeastern Brazil. The competitive abilities of the three species were evaluated by periodic observation of the natural fringes o… Show more

“…Another recently published study also found high growth rates in P. caribaeorum. Rabelo et al (2013) . The high values found by these authors can be explained by no consideration of perimeter in the calculation of the growth rate, contrary to Bastidas and Bone (1996), and the present study.…”

“…Além disso, salienta-se a resistência das espécies encontradas: Sebens (1982) relatou que Zoanthus sociatus e Palythoa caribaeorum resistem até nove e cinco horas à exposição direta ao sol, respectivamente. De fato, Rabelo et al (2013) demonstraram que P. caribaeorum e Z. sociatus são capazes de recolonizar uma área completamente exposta em poucos meses.…”

“…Their development is vegetative with high rates of regeneration. During low tide, when they are exposed to the air, they produce a jelly-like substance that protects them from dryness (Rabelo et al 2013, Soares et al 2006.…”
