MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Long-term Population and Community Dynamics: Other Benthic Invertebrates, ongoing since 2005

The data presented here are the abundances of the major invertebrate herbivores and corallivores on
Moorea coral reefs. Abundances are estimated in 4 fixed quadrats along 5 permanent transects at each
of 4 habitats at 2 sites on each of the 3 shores of Moorea each year. Counts are made in one-meter-squared
quadrats.
This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 22-24354
(and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed
under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la
République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2023). This work represents a contribution of
the Moorea Coral Reef (MCR) LTER Site.
