متن کاملLow richness of hermit crabs community (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguroidea) and high dominance of Clibanarius signatus in the intertidal zones of Larak Island, Persian Gulf, Iran
Abstract Hermit crabs community in the intertidal zones of Larak Island were investigated through a seasonal sampling at five stations using random quadrate sampling method. Overall, seven species were identified and Clibanarius signatus was the dominant species, which showed high dominance over other species. Using Bray-Curtis cluster analysis for comparing seasonal abundance showed that exce...
متن کاملThe roles of island area per se and habitat diversity in the species±area relationships of four Lesser Antillean faunal groups
1. We analysed the relationships between species richness, island area, and habitat diversity for birds, bats, butter ̄ies, and reptiles and amphibians on 19 islands in the Lesser Antilles. Habitat diversity was quanti®ed by Simpson's index based on the total areas of ®ve vegetation types on each island. Island area varied over two orders of magnitude (13±1510 km) and habitat diversity varied be...
