Sponge richness on algae-dominated rocky reefs in the western Antarctic Peninsula and the Magellan Strait
Sponges are important components of high-latitude benthic communities, but their diversity and abundance in algal-dominated rocky reefs has been underestimated because of the difficulty of in situ identification. Further, the influence of canopy-forming algae on sponge richness has been poorly studi...
