Abstract
⺠Decapod paleoecology was studied from a mid-Cretaceous patch reef in Spain. ⺠A site within coral boundstones was most diverse and contained small specimens. ⺠Sites in floatstones yielded a lower diversity and a different faunal composition. ⺠Different decapod sub- and microenvironments help to explain the high diversity. ⺠The methods employed can be used for other invertebrate clades as well.
