One such inter-reef habitat is the ‘bioherms’ dominated by the calcareous <i>Halimeda</i> macroalgae. In the northern section of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, <i>Halimeda</i> algal bioherms occupy &gt;6,000 km<sup>2</sup> of the inter-reef seabed, more than twice the area of adjacent shallow coral reefs. Here, we describe the biodiversity of the plant, vertebrate and invertebrate communities inhabiting <i>Halimeda</i> bioherms. By combining previous spatial mapping with legacy benthic biodiversity datasets, we find that <i>Halimeda</i> bioherms are a critically important complex habitat that hosts higher average species richness and diversity for both plants and invertebrates than the surrounding inter-reef (non-coral reef) seascape. Furthermore, at the community level, the structure of the bioherm-associated biotic assemblage is distinct from the non-bioherm community, with 40% of <i>Halimeda</i> bioherm-associated species not recorded at any non-bioherm sites. These findings improve estimates of the biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef and elevate <i>Halimeda</i> bioherms as a critically important inter-reef habitat. Regular long-term monitoring is required to detect potential impacts to inter-reef biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function under future climate change scenarios.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Inter-reef <i>Halimeda</i> algal habitats within the Great Barrier Reef support a distinct biotic community and high biodiversity","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-05-20","DateCreate":"2021-05-20","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000623757900002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1038/s41559-021-01400-8","Handle":"10.1038/s41559-021-01400-8"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":338305,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"647-655","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"5","Issue":"5","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":282823,"SerRR":"Nature Ecology & Evolution.
