| Summary: | Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides maintained its dominance in many areas of the northwest Atlantic because it is a superior competitor after disturbance events (Scheibling and Gagnon 2006, Kelly et al. 2011). However, several studies reported greater macrofaunal and epiphyte diversity associated with C. fragile ssp. tomentosoides (Schmidt and Scheibling 2006, 2007), which may be due to increased adaptation of the local community to this species (Harris and Jones 2005). A single study outside the northwest Atlantic showed that C. fragile ssp. tomentosoides increased the recruitment of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck (Bulleri et al. 2006).
