Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy‐forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

Site fidelity and homing behaviour in intertidal fishes

open access: yesMarine Biology, 2013
The theory of ecological cognition poses that the brains and behaviour of animals are shaped by the environmental challenges they face in their everyday lives. Site fidelity and homing ability was tested for five species of intertidal rock pool fish by tagging and displacing them to new rock pools at various distances from their ‘home’ rock pools ...

The fish community of East Cape tidal pools and an assessment of the nursery function of this habitat

open access: yes, 1985
Fish occurring in tidal pools in the lower balanoid zone near Port Elizabeth were examined by visual census and rotenone collections. Numerically, Cinidae constituted 28% of the community, Sparidae 23%, Gobiidae 17% and the Cheilodactylidae 12%, while ...

Morpho‐anatomical and genetic variation of Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) from Jeju Island, Korea

open access: yesPhycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Lithophyllum Philippi (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) is a diverse genus of non‐geniculate coralline algae. Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae are commonly found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of Jeju Island, Korea, where they contribute to local benthic communities.

<i>Planes</i> on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We sequenced COI and 16S rRNA genes from 106 crab megalopae found rafting on the pelagic sea snake Hydrophis platurus to test whether they were the obligate rafting species Planes minutus. Instead, all larvae belonged to three inter‐ to supratidal grapsid crabs—Pachygrapsus socius, Goniopsis pulchra, and Grapsus grapsus—revealing no evidence of Planes.

Icelandic intertidal fish communities and effects of knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum) harvesting

open access: yes
In Iceland, sheltered rocky intertidal zones like Breiðafjörður bay are dominated by monospecific stands of Ascophyllum nodosum, providing key habitats for marine organisms. Increasing demand for A.

Seasonal growth and reproductive dynamics of Chondrus ocellatus in relation to shore height in the Korean intertidal zone

open access: yesPhycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY We examined the seasonal growth and reproduction of the carrageenophyte Chondrus ocellatus in Hakampo, Korea (July 2014–April 2015), to understand its adaptation to environmental variability across the intertidal zone. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) growth is greater at the lower shore with reduced stress; (2) gametophytes dominate at the ...

Tidal activity rhythms and depth distribution of rocky shore fish in an altered intertidal environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this note we report on changes of activity level of littoral fish and their use of different microhabitats in an altered intertidal environment, where intertidal fish are never emersed and turbulence is confined to high tides.

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.

Ecología trófica de Girella laevifrons (Pisces: Kyphosidae) en zonas intermareales rocosas del norte de Chile afectadas y no afectadas por contaminantes derivados de la minería del cobre Trophic ecology of Girella laevifrons (Pisces: Kyphosidae) in rocky intertidal zones of northern Chile affected an non-affected by copper mine tailings

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2000
La zonas intermareales de localidades de la costa norte de Chile afectadas por contaminantes derivados de la minería del cobre, presentan una diversidad de especies sésiles menor que las localidades no afectadas.
