Responses of Cryptofaunal Species Richness and Trophic Potential to Coral Reef Habitat Degradation
Coral reefs are declining worldwide as a result of many anthropogenic disturbances. This trend is alarming because coral reefs are hotspots of marine biodiversity and considered the ‘rainforests of the sea. As in the rainforest, much of the diversity on a coral reef is cryptic, remaining hidden amon...
