Population structure of Megabalanus peninsularis in Malpelo Island, Colombia

Megabalanus peninsularis is a key species in the rocky shore, particularly in Malpelo Island in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) where it dominates the mesolittoral zone and the infralittoral fringe. The size structure of M. peninsularis was determined to infer the population state (pyramid model)...
