摘要

Biological populations colonize the habitat in various ways on temporal and spatial dimensions, occupying a mosaic of different microhabitats (Wiens, 1989). In intertidal communities, the enhancement of spatial heterogeneity diminishes The abiotic variation resulting from wave impact, water and substrate temperatures, Desiccation, and other factors (Fuji and Nomura, 1990; Menge, 1991), leading to A greater diversity (McQuaid and Dower, 1990). The structural complexity of the Primary substrate in rocky coasts (sensu Lohse, 1993) is a function of physical Properties of the rocks.
