Grazing by the Echinoid Diadema Antillarum Philippi: Formation of Halos around West Indian Patch Reefs

, 1973
Between patch reefs and marine grass communities there is normally a zone or halo of heavily grazed grass 2 to 10 meters wide. Grazing by the echinoid Diadema antillarum Philippi during nocturnal migrations off the reefs is found to be the major factor
