Overview

This study characterizes macroinvertebrate assemblages in rocky intertidal areas, exploring biodiversity and trophic structure related to environmental variables.

Key Points

  • Distinct macroinvertebrate assemblages recognized in rocky intertidal zones reflect variations due to environmental factors.
  • Salinity regime showed the strongest association with changes in macroinvertebrate diversity and composition.
  • Tidal level and substrate slope emerged as key physical factors influencing diversity and feeding strategies.
  • Findings underscore the ecological significance for conservation and management of coastal environments.
