Spatial and temporal patterns of benthic invertebrates in the Tagus estuary, Portugal: comparison between subtidal and an intertidal mudflat

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2009
Intertidal mudflats are a dominant feature in many estuarine systems and may be a significant component of the feeding grounds available for many fish and bird species.

Long-term changes in seagrass and benthos at Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania, the premier intertidal system along the East Atlantic Flyway

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2020
The benthic communities of soft-sediment intertidal ecosystems trophically underpin the migration of birds and fish. Within the East Atlantic Flyway, along the coast of West-Africa, the intertidal mudflats of Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania, host over 2 ...

Niche-Relationships Within and Among Intertidal Reef Fish Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Niche-related processes (e.g., density or niche-breadth compensation and competition) are fundamental to a broad understanding of community ecology and ecosystem functioning.

Rapid Assessment of Intertidal Wetland Sediments

open access: yes, 2012
Urbanization of coastal areas poses a severe threat to ecologically valuable intertidal wetlands. This paper presents a pragmatic approach called Rapid Assessment for Intertidal Wetland Sediments (RAITWS) for evaluating the sediment quality of intertidal

Feeding ecology of 0-group sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax in salt marshes of Mont Saint-Michel bay (France) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
0-group sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, colonize intertidal marsh creeks of Mont Saint Michel Bay, France, on spring tides (e.g., 43% of the tides) during flood and return to coastal waters during ebb.

Patterns of recruitment of the sand smelt (Atherina presbyter) on rocky intertidal habitats

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2015
The Portuguese coast is located in a biogeographical transition zone between temperate and subtropical waters making it especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Semilunar follicular cycle of an intertidal fish: the Fundulus model [PDF]

open access: yesBiology of Reproduction, 1996
In their habitat, Fundulus heteroclitus (Cyprinodontidae) spawn against a variety of specific substrates that become available only at spring tides; they thus exhibit a semilunar reproductive cyclicity. In the laboratory at 28 +/- 0.6 degrees C and 14L:10D, this cyclicity is free-running and can be observed by means of daily egg collection and frequent

Application of environmental DNA as a tool for detecting intertidal habitat use by forage fish

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
Many coastal forage fish species spend most of their life history using the water column, but some species such as Pacific Sand Lance (Ammodytes personatus) and Surf Smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) have a requirement for intertidal sediments for spawning and

Mangrove-mudflat connectivity shapes benthic communities in a tropical intertidal system

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Understanding the connectivity among seascape habitats is an important emerging topic in marine ecology and coastal management. Mangroves are known to provide many ecosystem services such as coastal protection and carbon cycling, but their functional ...
