Turf wars : competition between foundation and turf-forming species on temperate and tropical reefs and its role in regime shifts

Shifts in competitive balance between key functional groups may drive regime shifts in tropical and temperate marine ecosystems. On shallow reefs, regime shifts increasingly involve changes from spatial dominance by foundation species (e.g. reef-building corals, canopy-forming algae) to dominance by...
