Spatial structure of recruitment in the musselPerna pernaat local scales: : effects of adults, algae and recruit size

ABSTRACT: To test the assumption that there is no spatial structure in small-scale recruitment variability of rocky shore mussels, we examined spatial dependence in the distribution of density of recruits (late plantigrades: 0.5 to 3.5 mm; larger recruits: 3.5 to 10 mm) and adults of the brown musse...
