Recent Advances in Data Logging for Intertidal Ecology
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Temperature is among the most ubiquitous determinants of organism growth, survival, and reproduction. Accurate recordings and predictions of how the temperatures of plants and animals vary in time and space are therefore critical to forecasting the ...

Satellite remote sensing reveals a positive impact of living oyster reefs on microalgal biofilm development [PDF]
, 2018 Satellite remote sensing (RS) is routinely used for the large-scale monitoring of microphytobenthos (MPB) biomass in intertidal mudflats and has greatly improved our knowledge of MPB spatio-temporal variability and its potential drivers.

Changes in microphytobenthos fluorescence over a tidal cycle: implications for sampling designs [PDF]
, 2013 Intertidal microphytobenthos (MPB) are important primary producers and provide food for herbivores in soft sediments and on rocky shores. Methods of measuring MPB biomass that do not depend on the time of collection relative to the time of day or tidal ...

Ocean acidification alters the benthic biofilm communities in intertidal soft sediments
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Microphytobenthos (MPB) and bacterial biofilms play crucial roles in primary and secondary production, nutrient cycling and invertebrate settlement in coastal ecosystems, yet little is known of the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on these communities

Remote sensing of intertidal morphological change in Morecambe Bay, U.K., between 1991 and 2007 [PDF]
, 2010 Tidal Flats are important examples of extensive areas of natural environment that remain relatively unaffected by man. Monitoring of tidal flats is required for a variety of purposes. Remote sensing has become an established technique for the measurement

Technical note: The effects of five different defaunation methods on biogeochemical properties of intertidal sediment [PDF]
, 2012 Various methods have been used to remove organisms from sediments to investigate structure and function of faunal assemblages in intertidal habitats. Nevertheless, little is known about how these treatments affect properties of the sediments themselves ...

MidMedPol: Polychaetes from midlittoral rocky shores in Greece and Italy (Mediterranean Sea)
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2016 This paper describes a dataset of polychaetes (Annelida) from 14 midlittoral rocky shore sampling sites in Greece and Italy (Mediterranean Sea). The dataset combines the outcome of four different projects studying the hard substrate midlittoral zone in ...
