“Mollusk Thanatocoenoses Unravel the Diversity of Heterogeneous Rhodolith Beds (Italy, Tyrrhenian Sea)”
In this research, we studied three distinct rhodolith beds from the Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy), in a range between 40 and 100 m of water depth, together with their mollusk thanatocoenoses, sediment size, and oceanographic conditions.
