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.

Composition of fish communities in macrotidal salt marshes of the Mont Saint-Michel bay (France) [PDF]
, 2000 At least 100 fish species are known to be present in the intertidal areas (estuaries, mudflats and salt marshes) of Mont Saint-Michel Bay. These and other comparable shallow marine coastal waters, such as estuaries and lagoons, play a nursery role for ...

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.

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

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.

The mechanisms of intertidal fish coexistence: a model [PDF]
, 2014 Research into the ecology of intertidal fishes of the U.K. appears to be lacking, reportedly due to the mobility and cryptic nature of the more common species. However, some intertidal fishes contribute to the diets of commercially important species such as cod ( Gadus morhua ), haddock (

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