Abstract excerpt
Understanding the effects of habitat heterogeneity on the functioning of macrobenthic communities is essential to the conservation of biodiversity in coastal ecosystems. However, the effects of habitat heterogeneity on the functional trait composition and diversity of seagrass bed macrobenthos are as scarce. In the present study, functional diversity indices (i.e., functional dispersion, functional richness, and...
