Excerpt from The Ecology of Deep and Shallow Coral Reefs: Results of a Workshop on Coral Reef Ecology Held by the American Society of Zoologists, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, December 1983 Benthic invertebrate populations on coral reefs and in other marine communities often occupy several habitat types and display very different size structures in those habitats. The explanation for such size differences may lie in recruitment, mortality, or growth rate differences. These possible causal factors can be separated by carefully monitoring populations of marked individuals or colonies.
