Abstract
The Ghana’s rocky shore is unique along the Gulf of Guinea from Cote d’Ivoire to Western Cameroon (West Africa). This suggests the existence of specific biotopes of species assemblages of spatial scales. The variability of environmental factors has been highlighted as the main causes of variations in the rocky intertidal communities. This book presents species assemblage patterns on spatial scales, test statistical differences in taxa assemblages and model taxon-environmental interactions.
