Urbanization driving Ocypode quadrata burrow density, depth, and width across Caribbean beaches
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Globally, sandy beaches support local economies and are the most commonly-used type of coastline. This importance is perhaps most striking in the Caribbean; however, no study has assessed the morphological features of the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) sandy

Sandy beaches at the brink [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, 2007 ABSTRACTSandy beaches line most of the world's oceans and are highly valued by society: more people use sandy beaches than any other type of shore. While the economic and social values of beaches are generally regarded as paramount, sandy shores also have special ecological features and contain a distinctive biodiversity that is generally not ...

The first 10-m China’s national-scale sandy beach map in 2022 derived from Sentinel-2 imagery
International Journal of Digital EarthSandy beaches are at the frontline of resisting continuous sea level rise associated with anthropogenic climate change. However, accurate and comprehensive spatial information for monitoring, utilizing, and protecting sandy beaches is still lacking at ...

Complex, dynamic combination of physical, chemical and nutritional variables controls spatio-temporal variation of sandy beach community structure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Sandy beach ecological theory states that physical features of the beach control macrobenthic community structure on all but the most dissipative beaches.

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...
