| Note(s): |
A new method for interpreting branching morphology is introduced and demonstrated to be a practical means of assessing ecological events. The “turf” configuration of Laurencia papillosa (Forssk.) Grev. and the vegetative fragmentation of Acanthophora spicifera (Vahl) Børg. are examined on a fringing reef platform at Galeta Point, Panama.
