Progress in Fishery Sciences, 2023 The Yellow River estuary is one of the three largest estuaries along the coastal waters of China, along with the Yangtze and Pearl River estuaries. Its adjacent seawaters are rich in biological resources, with abundant fish habitat, spawning grounds, and

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

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.

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.

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 ...

Global 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
Frontiers 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.

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021 Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

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