Evaluation of diversity patterns of echinoderms with cryptic habits using Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) in two reefs of Gulf of Mexico and Mexican Caribbean Sea

Abstract Echinoderms are a conspicuous group on coral reefs. Juvenile and small-sized species often hide in living or inert substrates to protect themselves from predation. This cryptic behavior makes it difficult to count, identify, and capture them during fieldwork, resulting in a poor understandi...
