Increasing instability of a rocky intertidal meta-ecosystem. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance As climate change increasingly stresses Earth’s biosphere, assessment of biotic responses is critical to human welfare. Although species-level changes have been researched for decades, studies focused at the multispecies level are infrequent, and those testing dynamical responses (species interactions, recovery from disturbance ...

Future sea-level rise drives rocky intertidal habitat loss and benthic community change [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 The impacts of sea-level rise (SLR) are likely to be the greatest for ecosystems that exist at the land-sea interface, where small changes in sea-level could result in drastic changes in habitat availability.

Nitrospina bacteria in a rocky intertidal habitat (Quintay Bay, central Chile) [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Nitrospina bacteria are among the most important nitrite oxidizers in coastal and open‐ocean environments, but the relevance of the genus contrasts with the scarceness of information on their ecophysiology and habitat range. Thus far, Nitrospina bacteria

Global taxonomic and functional patterns in invertebrate assemblages from rocky-intertidal mussel beds [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMussels form extensive beds in rocky intertidal habitats on temperate seashores worldwide. They are foundation species because their beds host many invertebrates.

Resistance of rocky intertidal communities to oceanic climate fluctuations. [PDF]
PLoS OneA powerful way to predict how ecological communities will respond to future climate change is to test how they have responded to the climate of the past. We used climate oscillations including the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), North Pacific Gyre Oscillation, and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and variation in upwelling, air temperature, and ...

Rocky intertidal zonation pattern in Antofagasta, chile: invasive species and shellfish gathering. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BackgroundBiological invasions affecting rocky intertidal zonation patterns, yield information on species interactions. In the Bay of Antofagasta, northern Chile, the non-indigenous tunicate Pyura praeputialis, originally from Australia, has invaded (in ...

A comprehensive assessment of the intertidal biodiversity along the Portuguese coast in the early 2000s [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 The unprecedented rates of current biodiversity loss have motivated a renewed interest in environmental and biodiversity monitoring. The need for sustained monitoring strategies has prompted not only the establisment of new long-term monitoring ...

Multiple Driver Impacts on Rocky Intertidal Systems: The Need for an Integrated Approach
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Most intertidal rocky systems are exposed to severe tidal, diurnal, and seasonal changes in environmental parameters. In addition, they show extreme vulnerability to anthropogenic impacts.

Diversity, 2023 Intertidal mussel stands are common on temperate rocky seashores and host many small invertebrates, so they are important biodiversity reservoirs. Their integrity, however, is being increasingly affected by environmental extremes. An unusual cold snap in
