Ecological and biogeographical studies on the rocky shore seagrass Thalassodendron ciliatum (Forsskal) den Hartog and its seaweed epiphytes at the southern limit of its distribution in the western Indian Ocean by Catherine Margot Browne.

Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.The current study aimed to improve knowledge and understanding about the ecology, diversity and biogeography of the South African rocky shore seagrass Thalassodendron ciliatum and its associated macroalgal epiphytes.
