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

Does rock type account for variation in mussel attachment strength? A test with Brachidontes rodriguezii in the southwestern Atlantic [PDF]
, 2018 Mussel attachment strength varies in space and time, frequently in association with variations in wave exposure. Yet, it remains uninvestigated whether different rock types can contribute to variation in mussel attachment. Here we compared the attachment

Characterizing the cirri and gut microbiomes of the intertidal barnacle Semibalanus balanoides
Animal Microbiome, 2020 Background Natural populations inhabiting the rocky intertidal experience multiple ecological stressors and provide an opportunity to investigate how environmental differences influence microbiomes over small geographical scales.

Living on a trophic subsidy: Algal quality drives an upper-shore herbivore’s consumption, preference and absorption but not growth rates [PDF]
, 2018 Indexación: Scopus.The transfer of seaweeds from subtidal bottoms to nearby intertidal rocky shores is a common but often overlooked phenomenon. Freshly detached seaweeds often represent critical trophic subsidies for herbivores living in upper-shore ...

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.

Cliff top habitats provide important alternative feeding resources for wading birds of conservation importance wintering on non-estuarine coasts [PDF]
, 2014 Rocky shores and beaches are important over-wintering areas for non-estuarine waders but have rarely been studied. We examined cliff top habitat use by 6 species of wader over 75 km of coast to assess their potential value as alternative feeding sites to

Population biology of the sea star Anasterias minuta (Forcipulatida: Asteriidae) threatened by anthropogenic activities in rocky intertidal shores of San Matías Gulf, Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 In Patagonian coastal areas, intertidal benthic communities are exposed to extreme physical conditions. The interaction between harsh environment and anthropogenic pressure can generate changes in population biology of marine invertebrates, like density ...

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.

A plankton trap for exposed rocky intertidal shores [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1998 Thls paper descnbes a passive Rocky Intert~dal Plankton Trap (RIPT) that can be used in exposed rocky shores. The RlPT is light, simple to build, easy to install and inexpensive. It endures water velocities up to 7.7 m S-' dnd provides an integration over time of the nleroand holoplankton arriving at the rocky shore.

Ecography, EarlyView.Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...
