| Botryllus sclosseri was one of the eight most abundant species in Bodega Harbor both in 1969-1971 and in 2006. Spawning periods and abundance of species in this group appeared to be favored by a 1⁰C increase in average temperatures at this site over a 30-year period (Sorte and Stachowicz 2011). | ||
