Intertidal mussel reefs change the composition and size distribution of diatoms in the biofilm

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Rosyta Andriana from the Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, USA have published the research work: Intertidal mussel reefs change the composition and size distribution of diatoms in the biofilm, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 30/04/2015
  • what: The authors show that mussel reefs can change species composition and the size distribution of the biofilm by promoting higher numbers of small motile diatoms. This further supports the hypothesis that it is the sediment stabilising effect that enhanced the biofilm development on the artificial and natural shellfish reefs in the study , shown by . . .
