Abstract
The present paper aims at contributing to the knowledge of rhodolith beds by describing the associated macroalgal assemblages of two beds in the western Mediterranean Sea: Gorgona Island in the Tuscan Archipelago National Park and Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area in the southern Sardinia. Patterns of biodiversity and spatial variability were investigated through a multifactorial sampling design. A total of 84 macroalgal species was identified, 17 Heterokontophyta, 7 Chlorophyta, 1 Prasinodermatophyta and 59 Rhodophyta. Significant differences between beds were detected and the main species characterizing the two beds were highlighted. The mean number of species per sample was quite low and beta diversity high compared to most Mediterranean macroalgal assemblages.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
