COVER PHOTO: The cover image shows colonization of sessile taxa on coral rubble at Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. In their study in this issue, Wolfe et al. (Article e1586; doi:10.1002/ecm.1586) use hierarchical structuring theory to characterize hidden biodiversity on coral reefs from seascape to microhabitat perspectives. Through an in-depth assessment of community structure in coral rubble, the authors show broad environmental parameters, including wave exposure and water depth, shape coral rubble morphology, which shapes sessile communities, which shapes biodiversity of motile fauna.

封面照片：封面图片显示了澳大利亚大堡礁苍鹭岛珊瑚碎石上无柄类群的定殖。在本期的研究中，沃尔夫等人。（文章 e1586；doi：10.1002/ecm.1586）使用层次结构理论从海景到微生境的角度来描述珊瑚礁上隐藏的生物多样性。通过对珊瑚碎石群落结构的深入评估，作者展示了广泛的环境参数，包括波浪暴露和水深，塑造了珊瑚碎石的形态，从而塑造了无柄群落，进而塑造了活动动物群的生物多样性。照片来源：肯尼迪·沃尔夫。
