Community Structure of Coral Reefs on Opposite Sides of the Isthmus of Panama
James W Portfr ;
Date 8 Nov 1974
Journal Science, 186 (4163), 543-545
AbstractCompetition for space amon reef corals includes interspecific destruction by extracoelenteric digestion., rapid growth. and Overtopping. No Caribbean species excela in all strategies, and on western Caribbean coral reefs there is a positive correlation between coral abudance and diversity. On eastern Pacific coral reefs, however. Pocillopora damicornis excludes other corals, and on these reefs there is an inverse relation between coral abundance and diversity, except in areas where distrubances, such as Acanthaster predation offset space monopolization.
