Diversity, community structure and habitat use of molluscs in marinas from the Iberian Peninsula and Northern Africa

Comparison of macro‐molluscan assemblages in a protected and a non‐protected tropical seagrass ecosystem

“…However, hard bottom habitats like shallow water rocky communities and rocky reef communities have been studied to show such an influence, whereas the current study found no such trophic diversity influence within MPAs using soft‐bottom habitats (here seagrass). This is due to the fact that the species composition and the ecological functioning (due to the trophic structure difference) of these two environments, namely hard and soft bottom habitats, differ (Guerra‐García et al, 2021). More research into the study of influence on species, trophic, and functional diversity patterns within and outside the MPA using soft‐bottom habitat communities is needed.…”
