Integrative taxonomy approach to detect spatial and temporal variability of the Mediterranean benthic communities through artificial substrate units (ASUs)

Integrative taxonomy approach to detect spatial and temporal variability of the Mediterranean benthic communities through artificial substrate units (ASUs)

Monitoring spatial and temporal changes of marine benthic communities using standardized procedures is essential to take necessary steps towards conservation of marine ecosystems. In this study we combined Artificial Substrate Units (ASUs) for sampling of benthic communities, with integrative taxono...
