| Abstract |
Although the presence of the reef building polychaete Ficopomatus enigmaticus (a neozoon) in the Black Sea has long been known to marine biologists, up to now no one has performed a detailed analysis of the macrozoobenthic community established within Ficopomatus reefs. As a contibution to the knowledge of the ecological role of this neozoon, this paper aims to demostrate that, although restricted in range, the Ficopomatus community has a clearly distinct individuality. We conducted a comparative analysis of both taxonomic structure and functional feeding structure of two types of macrozoobenthic community (Ficopomatus –dominated vs. Mytilus-dominated). |
