Coastal Zone Ecotones

1992
The coastal zone lies between terrestrial and marine systems. It includes the entirety of the coastal plains, the continental shelves and their waters, and bays, estuaries, lagoons, dune fields, and deltas (Inman and Nordstrom 1971; Ketchum 1972; Inman and Brush 1973; Fig. 21.1).

Ecotone—Speciation Prone?

2001
Abstract Fish in cold arctic lakes and in muggy tropical ones have spawned new species because these biotopes offered more niches than a single fish could fill. Monophagous insects have done the same with the abundance of different host plants on offer.

Effects of Ecotones on Biodiversity

2007
Ecotones are areas of steep transition between ecological communities, ecosystems, or ecological regions along an environmental gradient. Ecotones occur at multiple spatial scales and range from natural boundaries to human-generated ecotones. Various studies have shown that species richness and abundances tend to peak in ecotonal areas, though ...
