SUMMARY
Living rhodolith beds are formed by the aggregation of living (>10%) rhodoliths. According to, the cover of live rhodoliths in a bed may affect the diversity and abundance of associated species. With regard to C. cylindracea, a recent local heavy overgrowth of this species on rhodolith beds was reported for other Mediterranean areas, and it appeared to be facilitated by anthropogenic impacts that could directly affect the rhodolith assemblage. This pattern becomes particularly relevant in rhodolith beds because these bottoms provide a complex three-dimensional substrate for stolon attachment. This hypothesis can be useful . . .
