The source used says something different than the hook (and the article text). It says, "Pugettia gracilis had highest abundances at canopy sites" and "Abundance of P. gracilis was higher in canopy sites than understory". Please fix or explain.
@Vice regent: Thank you for the review. At the bottom of page 66 of the source it states "Most canopy kelp structure is in the water column and not directly available to crabs." It then states "Pugettia gracilis was found primarily on the tops of understory macroalgae". I take that to mean that the canopy was beneficial to the crab, as protection from predators for example, but that the crab did not actually climb into the canopy. So "highest abundance" in canopy sites but not highest abundance in the canopy. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:22, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
That appears to be a reasonable interpretation I'll assume you know what you are talking about. Pass!VR talk 03:08, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
