Trampling on rocky shores by an introduced capybara population in Anchieta Island State Park, Brazil
Biotemas, 2019 This study describes an unusual case of trampling on intertidal rocky shores by the largest rodent, the capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus, 1766).

Community regulation: the relative importance of recruitment and predation intensity of an intertidal community dominant in a seascape context. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Predicting the strength and context-dependency of species interactions across multiple scales is a core area in ecology. This is especially challenging in the marine environment, where populations of most predators and prey are generally open, because of

Plants, 2022 Morphologically similar but genetically distinct species have been termed cryptic and most have been assumed to be ecologically similar. However, if these species co-occur at a certain spatial scale, some niche differences at finer scales should be ...

Uniform persistence and almost periodic solutions of a nonautonomous patch occupancy model
Advances in Difference Equations, 2020 In this paper, a nonlinear nonautonomous model in a rocky intertidal community is studied. The model is composed of two species in a rocky intertidal community and describes a patch occupancy with global dispersal of propagules and occupy each other by ...

Mucus trails in the rocky intertidal. A highly active microenvironment
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1991 Examines the significance of mucus trails derived from the herbivorous gastropods Patella caerulea, Monodonta turbinata and Tegula sp. in enhancing microbial activity in marine rocky intertidal and sublittoral zones. The breakdown of mucus material by bacterial enzymes can provide a microenvironment enriched in regenerated inorganic nutrient.

Physiological and behavioral response of the Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, to salinity: implications for estuarine distribution and invasion [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The invasive Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, is ubiquitous in the rocky intertidal zone of the western North Atlantic. A likely contributor to this colonization is that H.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Annual surveys of the abundance of intertidal invertebrates and macroalgae have been made at between 70 and 100 rocky intertidal time-series sites around the United Kingdom coastline since 2002 under the MarClim project.

A trophic characterization of intertidal consumers on Chilean rocky shores [PDF]
Revista de biología marina y oceanografía, 2013 In the last 50 years, the trophic role of consumers has become a main research topic in the ecology of Chilean rocky shores, and in other regions. Several studies have typified species of echinoderms, crustaceans and mollusks as the most important herbivores and carnivores of intertidal assemblages.

Influence of a breakwater on nearby rocky intertidal community structure [PDF]
Marine Environmental Research, 2009 It is widely recognised that coastal-defence structures generally affect the structure of the assemblages they support, yet their impact on adjacent systems has been largely ignored. Breakwaters modify the nearby physical environment (e.g. wave action) suggesting a local impact on biological parameters.

Diversity, 2022 The decapod fauna in the intertidal zone of the rocky shores of Chile is highly diverse, especially along the northern and central mainland coasts, where the influence of the cold Humboldt Current results in high productivity.
