Functional and Taxonomic Overlap in Shore Fish Assemblages in a Tropical Seascape
The relationships between shore fish assemblages from habitats neighboring coral reefs have received little attention in the Indo-Pacific.The present study is based on the extensive sampling (539,000 fish; 898 taxa) of three fish assemblages: reefs, mangroves, and soft-bottoms in a large bay of New Caledonia.Species area curves indicate that sampli
