Mollusc Assemblages In Relation To Habitat Characteristics In Mangroves Of Penang Island

This study is important to determine the distribution of mollusc and its relation to habitat characteristics in mangroves. As mollusc distribution patterns are patchy in the mangrove environment, patterns of mollusc assemblage compositions across spatiotemporal scales were studied in the tropical ma...
