Littorally adaptive? Testing the link between habitat, morphology, and reproduction in the intertidal sculpin subfamily Oligocottinae (Pisces: Cottoidea) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 While intertidal habitats are often productive, species-rich environments, they are also harsh and highly dynamic. Organisms that live in these habitats must possess morphological and physiological adaptations that enable them to do so. Intertidal fishes

Biology, 2012 In many European estuaries, extensive areas of intertidal habitats consist of bare mudflats and sandflats that harbour a very high abundance and biomass of macrobenthic invertebrates. The high stocks of macrobenthos in turn provide important food sources

Tracking a “Prehistoric Pompeii” , Rhinoland and Crocodilia: New Discoveries And Interpretations Of Ipolytarnóc (N Hungary) Lower Miocene Track Site [PDF]
Geoconservation Research, 2021 The transnational Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark situated in Northern Hungary and Southern Slovakia has several important Neogene fossil sites developed for geotourism. One of them is the lower Miocene paleontological locality complex at Ipolytarnóc , which has

Respiratory Adaptations in Intertidal Fish [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1988 SYNOPSIS: Intertidal rockpools provide a challenging environment for rockpool fish with rapid changes taking place in many environmental parameters over a tidal cycle. Intertidal fish exhibit a number of behavioural adaptations such as the avoidance of hypoxic situations or remaining inactive during aerial “stranding.” Other species are, however, well ...

Do Large Carnivores and Mesocarnivores Have Redundant Impacts on Intertidal Prey?
PLoS ONE, 2017 The presence of large carnivores can affect lower trophic levels by suppressing mesocarnivores and reducing their impacts on prey. The mesopredator release hypothesis therefore predicts prey abundance will be higher where large carnivores are present ...

Intertidal rockpool icthyofauna of El Pital, La Libertad, El Salvador [PDF]
Check List, 2012 The composition of the rockpool fish community of El Pital was described. A total of 29 rockpools with volumes ranging from 0.12 to 0.83 m3 were sampled from March to September 2009 using dip nets and clove oil anesthetic solution.

Change in fish functional diversity and assembly rules in the course of tidal marsh restoration.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Functional trait theory provides a mechanistic framework to understand change in community composition and community assembly through time and space. Despite this, trait-based approaches have seldom been used in ecological restoration.
