Piddocks (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pholadidae) increase topographical complexity and species diversity in the intertidal

Bioerosion increases the topographic complexity of soft rock habitats, thereby increasing species diversity. This increase in species diversity may either be associated with an increase in complexity or may simply be a consequence of the increase in available surface area for colonisation. The influ...
