Question

At Playa Rocosa possible differences in the structure of two communities of species (Community of the High Energy habitat versus the Low Energy habitat, in the two series of quadrats or areas under study:

a. It presents the structure of the community of species using the relative abundance in each area under study (Site A and Site B).

b. What are the reasons why there are (or are not) differences in relative abundances (eg Chitons>Limpets>Cirropods (=barnacles)>Nerites in one habitat but, Limpets>Nerites>Cirropods>Chitons, in another site) in one habitat versus another habitat – in various quad series?

 

c. Which of the two habitats encompasses the greatest diversity of species and why?
