Here, we examined the spatial variation in the invasion success of S. muticum from rockpools at multiple spatial scales using a hierarchical design.

Data were collected from 12 sites using a hierarchical design (Fig.  1) including the two most human-populated islands (Santa Cruz and San Cristóbal), and the two most widespread habitats (dry lowland and humid highland) and their transition zone.

Here, we used a hierarchical design to describe the spatial distribution of the hydroids epiphitic of the brown alga Cystoseira amentacea, a habitat-forming species that provides a continuous, extensive settling substrate at regional scale along the rocky coasts in the Mediterranean Sea.

This was carried out over one year in 1996/1997, using a hierarchical sampling design.
