Biodiversity Patterns of Rocky Coastal and Human-Made Structures in Gheshm Shorelines; Role of Slope and Tidal Levels Characteristics in Determining Patterns of Biodiversity by Marzieh Razaghi, Ali Nasrolahi, Ehsan Kamrani, Mohammad Sharif Ranjbar, Amir Vazirizadeh

“…PERMANOVA tests revealed significant differences in the structure of epibiotic communities between natural and artificial hard substrates, as well as across different tidal levels on the southern shores of Qeshm Island (p < 0.05).Discussion: A nearly regular increasing trend in species count was observed with rising tidal height, with lower intertidal areas hosting higher species richness compared to the other two tidal levels. No echinoderm individuals were found on the flat surfaces of artificial habitats, likely due to the steep slope and lack of microhabitats, which prevented these communities from establishing. …”
