“…2 0 4 0 . 6 0.8 Table 1 critically, to 'side' effects such as turbidity and sediment deposition, as suggested by Moore (1978). Although sediment contributes to the spatial heterogeneity of a habitat and represents a separate substrate category in mussel beds (Tsuchiya & Nishihlra 1985), an excess of it seems to negatively affect the amphipod assemblage, as in the case of Stn P. The deposition of particles helps to create unfavourable conditions in the mussel beds both by obstructing refuges and lowering the oxygen tension.…”

“…A great number of species seem to colonize only substrates of a certain structural complexity (Dean 1981), or are usudly most abundant on highly heterogeneous habitats (Stoner 1980). Because of their complex physical structure, macrophytes have proved to be suitable substrates for the establishment of amphlpods, and have indeed been the object of extensive studies (Fenwick 1976, Moore 1978, Nelson 1979, Edgar 1983, McBane & Crocker 1983, Stoner 1985. Amphipod communities have received less attention when associated with other biological substrates as, for example, mussel beds.…”

“…Few studies have tested for habitat preference in motile macrobenthic invertebrates (Giles and Zamora, 1973;Van Dolah, 1978) although reports on habitat associations are widespread in the literature. Fauna1 associates of particular marine algae (Sloane et al, 1961;Hagerman, 1966;Norton, 1971;Fenwick, 1976;Moore, 1978) and seagrasses (Kita and Harada, 1962;O'Gower and Wacasey, 1967;Nagle, 1968;Santos and Simon, 1974;Stoner, in prep. a, b) by animals for particular macrophytes or for the cues which attract them to certain plant substrata.…”

“…In tropical and subtropical systems, amphipods generally dominate these assemblages, followed by other organisms such as gastropods and polychaetes (TANAKA & LEITE, 2003). Several factors influence macrophyteassociated assemblages at distinct spatial scales: at large scales, differences in environmental conditions such as turbidity, hydrodynamics, and salinity can influence species distribution; whereas at smaller spatial scales biological factors such as recruitment, predation, and competition can play a major role (MOORE, 1978;NELSON, 1979;EDGAR, 1983;TANAKA & LEITE, 2003).…”

“…However, turbidity can promote variation between areas in the faunal distribution, by reducing predation pressure due to lower efficiency of prey location and capture in more turbid waters, or influencing predator densities (MOORE, 1978). Thus, we evaluated the general hypothesis that diel activity patterns of macrophyteassociated assemblages differ between shores with distinct degrees of turbidity.…”
