M<sup>−2</sup>). Macrobenthic assemblage abundance at all 27 representative sites examined displayed low-level but highly-significant spatial patchiness (mean Lloyd's index, I<SUB>P</SUB> = 1.148). Except at high tidal levels, however, the magnitude of this local patchiness did not vary statistically across the system (CV 4.3%) regardless of assemblage abundance, location or species composition. Patchinesses well within ±1 standard deviation of Knysna's value also characterise an equivalent Z. (Zosterella) capricorni assemblage in subtropical Queensland (I<SUB>P</SUB> 1.169) and another, <i>Z. (Zosterella) noltei</i>, assemblage in cool-temperate England (I<SUB>P</SUB> 1.135), suggesting that at local scales intertidal dwarf-eelgrass macrobenthic abundance displays a characteristic level of patchiness.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Local patchiness of macrobenthic faunal abundance displays homogeneity across the disparate seagrass systems of an estuarine bay","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-02 01:31:57.037551","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":" Estuary; Knysna; Self-organisation; Spatial variation","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2019,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2019-07-01","DateCreate":"2019-05-21","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000472688400012","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.marenvres.2019.05.001"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":311148,"PubliDate":2019,"Pagination":"99-107","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"148","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43357,"SerRR":"Marine Environmental Research.
