Pilot investigation of remote sensing for intertidal oyster mapping in coastal South Carolina: a methods comparison [PDF]

, 2003
South Carolina’s oyster reefs are a major component of the coastal landscape. Eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica are an important economic resource to the state and serve many essential functions in the environment, including water filtration, creek ...

Storm events will simultaneously reduce foraging opportunities and affect movements of Red Knots (Calidris canutus) in the intertidal Wadden Sea

Ibis, EarlyView.
Intertidal systems provide important wintering areas for migratory shorebirds, where they can both forage and roost. In the light of climate change, extreme wind speeds are predicted to occur more frequently in northwestern Europe and pose a threat to shorebirds.

KEANEKARAGAMAN GASTROPODA PADA ZONA INTERTIDAL TENGAH (MIDLE INTERTIDAL ZONE) DAN ZONA INTERTIDAL BAWAH (LOWER INTERTIDAL ZONE) DAERAH PADANG LAMUN DESA WAAI

BIOPENDIX: Jurnal Biologi, Pendidikan dan Terapan, 2014
Background: Seagrass grows and spreads in nearly all parts of the intertidal zone. Waai village has characteristic sloping coastal water and have different patterns of zonation of seagrass in the intertidal zone's third-impact on the presence of seagrass and the organisms in it. Methods: The study was conducted in coastal waters Waai village, in ...

Support for Integrated Ecosystem Assessments of NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserves System (NERRS), Volume I: The Impacts of Coastal Development on the Ecology and Human Well-being of Tidal Creek Ecosystems of the US Southeast [PDF]

, 2008
A study was conducted, in association with the Sapelo Island and North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs), to evaluate the impacts of coastal development on sentinel habitats (e.g., tidal creek ecosystems), including potential impacts ...

Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.

Reproduction and embryonic development of monkeyface prickleback Cebidichthys violaceus in captivity

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the sequence of embryonic and larval development and the factors necessary to induce reproduction in captivity are critical for developing new species for commercial or conservation aquaculture. In this study, we describe the adult reproductive behaviours and development of eggs, embryos and early larvae of captive monkeyface ...

Sellafield-derived anthropogenic C-14 in the marine intertidal environment of the NE Irish Sea [PDF]

, 2004
The intertidal biota from Parton beach, close to the Sellafield nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, were all found to be enriched in radiocarbon relative to ambient background.

Growth and age differences between two male alternative reproductive tactics in the plainfin midshipman

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The plainfin midshipman (Porichthys notatus Girard, 1854) is a toadfish with two distinct reproductive male tactics: ‘guarder males’ and ‘sneaker males’. These two tactics are anatomically, physiologically and behaviourally distinct from one another at sexual maturity, but it remained unclear whether these two male types remain fixed or ...

A re-evaluation of the tidal sorting hypothesis of mangrove zonation: propagule specific gravity matters

Frontiers in Marine Science
There is much controversy surrounding factors that affect the distribution of mangrove plants across the intertidal gradient. It was previously hypothesized that mangrove zonation was attributed to tidal sorting (TSH) of its propagules according to size (
