RETRACTED:Different ecological indicators used in a re-colonization field study of benthic communities and its compliance with ecosystem theories

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).Reason: The authors have plagiarized large parts of a paper that had already appeared in Ecol. Indic., 6 (2006) 43–57, doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2005.08.016. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
