distributed in Posidonia beds (a1 and a2),
coralligène formations (b), and lagoons
(c) according to the pairs of distances
with the other species of the same
habitat based on the 10 traits used. (d)
Frequencies of the average distances of
the Lessepsian species according to the
pairs of distances with all the indigenous
species of the dataset based on the 10
traits used. The smaller the distance was
between two species, the highest niche
overlap they were considered to have
and thus the highest competition for all
resource types.
