Abstract
Between patch reefs and marine grass communities there is normally a zone or "halo" of heavily grazed grass 2 to 10 meters wide. Grazing by the echinoid Diadema antillarum Philippi during nocturnal migrations off the reefs is found to be the major factor in the formation of halos.
摘要
在补丁状珊瑚礁和海洋草社区之间，通常有一个 2 到 10 米宽的被严重啃食的草的区域或“光环”。在珊瑚礁外的夜间迁徙中，海胆 Diadema antillarum Philippi 的啃食被发现是光环形成的主要因素。
