Temporal and spatial variations in percentage cover of macroalgae on rocky shores in South of Caspian Sea (Astara to Babolsar) [PDF]
Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2015 The most important primary producers of rocky shores are macroalgae. The present study investigated the temporal–spatial changes, the percentage of coverage and the influence of abiotic factors on macroalgae on rocky shores of southern Caspian Sea. Ten

Diversity and habitat preference of brachyuran crabs in Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat, India [PDF]
Arthropods, 2012 The biodiversity of Gulf of Kutch is studied well with special reference to scleretinia and mollusca but the brachyuran crab taxa are rather neglected. Gulf of Kutch is very rich in floral and faunal diversity and comprises different types of communities

Rocky shore biotic assemblages of the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean) : a conservation perspective [PDF]
, 2005 Limestone rocky shores constitute ca 90.5% of the 272km coastline of the Maltese islands. Only some 40% of this rocky coastline is gently sloping and easily accessible.

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

Can Rock-Rubble Groynes Support Similar Intertidal Ecological Communities to Natural Rocky Shores?
Land, 2020 Despite the global implementation of rock-rubble groyne structures, there is limited research investigating their ecology, much less than for other artificial coastal structures. Here we compare the intertidal ecology of urban (or semi-urban) rock-rubble
