Habitat Primarily Structures Seagrass Epifaunal Communities: a Regional-Scale Assessment in the Chesapeake Bay

Claire E. Murphy et al.

Summary: Epifaunal invertebrates in seagrass systems have important ecological roles, including grazing on epiphytic algae and serving as a major food source. This study examined regional-scale patterns in epifaunal community properties in the Chesapeake Bay estuary, finding that differences in species richness were correlated with water temperature, while differences in community composition were influenced by seagrass cover and algal biomass. The relationship between cover and community structure was driven by specific species of peracarid crustaceans.
