| Summary |
"This book focuses on the dynamical processes influencing the structure of coral communities some of the most biologically diverse communities on earth. A variety of biological and physical processes operating across an enormous range of spatiotemporal scales are highlighted. The focus on the community provides a framework for presenting some of the best examples from the literature using multiple taxonomic groups (e.g., corals, fishes, encrusting invertebrates)."--BOOK JACKET |
