The physical characteristics of biogenic habitats and environmental conditions are important determinants of biodiversity, yet their relative importance can change across spatial scales. We aimed to understand how relationships between the physical characteristics of macroalgal habitats and their invertebrate communities varied across spatial scales and whether general ecological patterns occurred across two countries.

两国大型藻类生境及其无脊椎动物群落中异常但一致的纬度分布

生物生境的物理特征和环境条件是生物多样性的重要决定因素，但它们的相对重要性却可以在空间尺度上变化。我们旨在了解大型藻类生境的物理特征与其无脊椎动物群落之间的关系如何在空间尺度上变化，以及两国间是否发生了一般的生态格局。
