Abstract:One of the major paradigms in ecology is the understanding of processes and patterns related to the structure of biological communities. Reef ecosystems, with their high productivity, habitat heterogeneity, and fish diversity provide a model for studying these processes. We sampled four sites three times during the season associated with the California Current and two times associated with the North Equatorial Current using video-transects on the coast of Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico to determine the relation… Show more
