Environment drivers of ecological complexity in marine intertidal communities – Phys.org

Environmental conditions such as sea surface temperature and the occurrence of cold water upwelling events drive the structure of interaction networks in marine intertidal communities via their effects on species richness, according to new research.
In a paper published by Ecology, Swansea University’s Dr. Miguel Lurgi paired up with researchers from the Coastal Marine Research station in Chile, who compiled data of species composition and three types of ecological interactions occurring betwee…
