Intertidal bait gleaning on rocky shores in Kuwait
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2020Abstract Leptodius exaratus has been used traditionally as a bait for recreational fishing in Kuwait, however little known about the effect of this practice. The present study is the first step towards understanding the recreational fisheries in Kuwait and the indirect impact of this fishery on the intertidal rocky shore habitats through bait ...

Rocky intertidal community shift over 30 years: 1990–2020 rocky intertidal long term trend report
2023Cabrillo National Monument (CABR) is a unit of the National Park System located on the Point Loma peninsula in San Diego, CA, USA. Despite its small size (0.65 terrestrial km2), the monument attracts 851,000 annual visitors (IRMA SRSS Reports 2011-2020), and acts as an “urban island”, providing habitat for unique algal, plant and animal species in an ...

Trophic Control of Production in a Rocky Intertidal Community
Science, 2002In the low intertidal zone at Tatoosh Island, Washington, United States, minimal estimates of primary production can vary from 0 to an average of 86 kilograms of wet mass per square meter per year when the grazing assemblage is manipulated.

Substrate size mediates thermal stress in the rocky intertidal
Ecology, 2011Variation in physical factors, such as slope, orientation, and wind exposure, shapes thermal conditions. Variation in substrate size is common in many habitats, but its thermal consequences for organisms are not well characterized. Larger substrates should remain more thermally stable and act as thermal refuges for associated organisms during short ...

The importance of secondary substratum in a rocky intertidal community
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1993The maintenance of diversity of the rocky mid-intertidal community of western North America has long been considered the result of mechanisms which prevent the mussel Mytilus californianus Conrad, the dominant competitor, from occupying all rock surfaces. Proposed mechanisms include preferential predation by starfish and physical disturbances like wave

Facilitation as a Successional Mechanism in a Rocky Intertidal Community
The American Naturalist, 1983The mechanism by which the surfgrass Phyllospadix scouleri Hook. (Potamogetonaceae), a dominant late successional plant, replaces algae during secondary succession was investigated in a rocky intertidal community on the Oregon coast. Experiments suggest some, but not all, middle successional species are necessary for surfgrass recruitment.

Community Interactions on Marine Rocky Intertidal Shores
Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1972"The ultimate goal of an ecological survey should be to discover and measure the main dynamic relations between all organisms living on an area over some period of time" (Elton 31 ). This is a tall order but it describes the aim of many "community" ecologists pretty well.

Sediment-algal interactions on intertidal rocky reefs
2009Macroalgae are a dominant feature of many rocky intertidal habitats worldwide. An understanding of the processes affecting their growth and survival, especially at early life history stages, is therefore important to an understanding of the structure of rocky intertidal communities.
