Comment on Dye (2006) - "Is Geomorphic Zonation a Useful Predictor of Patterns of Benthic Infauna in Intermittent Estuaries in New South Wales, Australia?"

In a recent paper, Dye (2006) analyzed the distribution of species of macrobenthos and meiobenthos
within two geomorphic facies of four small intermittently closed and open estuaries in New South Wales, Australia (colloquially known as ICOLLs). We believe that Dye's (2006) study is not an appropriate test of the Roy et al. (2001) habitat classification, and consequently several of the
hypotheses posed by Dye do not follow logically from their model.
