A researcher examined effects of wave movement on species richness of organisms (algae and small invertebrate animals) living on boulders along beaches in California. In this study small boulders moved often, large ones seldom; when boulders rolled over attached individuals of all species become damaged or dislodged, scraping an area of the boulder clean of organisms. Measurement of species diversity in standard-sized areas, on various sized boulders was undertaken. The hypothesis in this study is: large boulders will have the highest species richness. (These data were taken from the following study, Sousa, W. 1979. Ecological Monographs 49: 227-254.) year of survey of species richness mean species richness, small boulders mean species richness, medium-sized boulders mean species richness, large boulders 1975 1976 1977 1.7 1.9 1.4 3.3 4.3 3.6 2.5 3.5 3.2 a.
