Species Composition and Community Characteristics of Typical Intertidal Shellfish in Qingdao, China

Progress in Fishery Sciences
The intertidal zone, a dynamic interface between the ocean and land, is one of the most diverse ecological habitats and harbors some of the richest biological communities.

Between tide and wave marks: a unifying model of physical zonation on littoral shores [PDF]

PeerJ, 2013
The effects of tides on littoral marine habitats are so ubiquitous that shorelines are commonly described as ‘intertidal’, whereas waves are considered a secondary factor that simply modifies the intertidal habitat.

Freezing tolerance and survival experiments with various intertidal organisms from Kachemak Bay, Alaska [PDF]

, 2004
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2004Intertidal organisms at high latitudes experience multiple stresses created by freezing, including ischemia, free water reduction, and distortion and destruction of cells, and in response have adapted ...

Sediment structure and physicochemical changes following tidal inundation at a large open coast managed realignment site [PDF]

, 2018
Managed realignment (MR) schemes are being implemented to compensate for the loss of intertidal saltmarsh habitats by breaching flood defences and inundating the formerly defended coastal hinterland.

Planktonic Subsidies to Surf-Zone and Intertidal Communities

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2018
Plankton are transported onshore, providing subsidies of food and new recruits to surf-zone and intertidal communities. The transport of plankton to the surf zone is influenced by wind, wave, and tidal forcing, and whether they enter the surf zone depends on alongshore variation in surf-zone hydrodynamics caused by the interaction of breaking waves ...

Halophilanema prolata n. gen., n. sp. (Nematoda: Allantonematidae), a parasite of the intertidal bug, Saldula laticollis (Reuter)(Hemiptera: Saldidae) on the Oregon coast

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background It is rare to find terrestrial nematode lineages parasitizing arthropods inhabiting the intertidal or littoral zone of the oceans. During an ecological study along the Oregon dunes, an allantonematid nematode (Tylenchomorpha: Allantonematidae)

Population dynamics of two sympatric intertidal fish species (the shanny, Lipophrys pholis, and long-spined scorpion fish,Taurulus bubalis) of Great Britain [PDF]

, 2016
The shanny/common blenny (Lipophrys pholis) and long-spined scorpionfish/bullhead (Taurulus bubalis) are commonly encountered, sympatric species within much of Great Britain’s rocky intertidal zones. Despite being prey items of the cod (Gadus morhua) and

Preliminary Canopy Removal Experiments in Algal Dominated Communities Low on the Shore and in the Shallow Subtidal on the Isle of Man [PDF]

, 1985
The algal dominated communities immediately above and below the low-water spring level on a moderately exposed Manx shore were investigated by canopy removal experiments. Fucus serratus, Laminaria digitata and L. hyperborea were removed.

Adaptation of shell morphology to different tidal zones—insights into phenotypic plasticity of Littorina brevicula

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionThe adaptability of intertidal gastropods to their environmental niches is a critical aspect of their survival. Littorina brevicula, a common intertidal snail, exhibits phenotypic plasticity in response to varying tidal conditions. This study
