Latitudinal gradient of species diversity: multi‐scale variability in rocky intertidal sessile assemblages along the Northwestern Pacific coast

Abstract

An error appeared in Table 4: the figures 0.000 and 0.857 were transposed in the Variable-level-model section of the Simpson's diversity index column. The correct table appears here.
