Mussels and canopy-forming algae as ecosystem engineers: their contribution to community organization in the rocky sublittoral
Understanding the influence of biogenic habitats on species assemblage structure and ecosystem productivity is crucial for successful conservation of natural systems. Brown algae, Fucus vesiculosus, and blue mussels, Mytilus trossulus, coexist on sheltered and moderately wave exposed shallow rocky r...
