ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The algal flora was sampled in 15 intertidal rock pools, selected for habitat uniformity within a limited area. The distribution of species agreed closely with that expected at random, whether examined by the distribution of associations, by nesting, by chequerboarding or by incidence functions. The simplest explanation is that differences in specific composition between the pools are caused by chance.
