First records of emerging benthic invertebrates at a sublittoral soft-bottom habitat in northern Chile
Some benthic invertebrates perform vertical diel migrations by swimming up from the seabed to the water column, i.e., they emerge. Although such migrations may have important implications for benthic-pelagic coupling, there is no information reporting this type of ecological processes in sublittoral...
