Latitudinal environmental gradients and diel variability influence abundance and community structure of Chaetognatha in Red Sea coral reefs
Description: Chaetognatha play an important role as secondary consumers in most marine food webs. Since Chaetognatha are sensitive to changes in temperature and salinity, scientists surmised latitudinal changes in their biodiversity, community structure and diel variability along the coast of Saudi Arabia. In this study, samples of Chaetognatha were collected at nine coral reefs spanning approximately 1500 km in the Red Sea. [Source: Systematics and Biodiversity]
