Interactions between nematode biodiversity and anthropogenic disturbances on European sandy beaches (poster) [PDF]
, 2002 The European coastline consists for more than 30% of sandy beaches. In spite of their rather barren and arid view, these European coasts harbour a highly diverse fauna and flora and some of them are even highly productive.

Faunistic diversity of Maltese pocket sandy and shingle beaches: are these of conservation value?
Oceanologia, 2005 The littoral fauna of Maltese sandy and shingle beaches is generally regarded as impoverished and consequently of little conservation interest. The fauna of three sandy and three shingle beaches was systematically sampled by coring, standardised ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Nest beach selection by sea turtles at a regional scale may depend on upper shore environmental cues. Thus, the variability of sandy beach conditions, including coastal erosion rates and urban development can affect their nesting ecology.

A temporal assessment of anthropogenic marine debris on sandy beaches from Ecuador’s southern coast
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) is an environmental pollution that affects marine life, human health, wellbeing, and the economy. This marine litter can deposit in the coastlines, particularly on tidal zones and beaches.

Use of Spotted Knapweed/Star Thistle (Asterales: Asteraceae) as the Primary Source of Nectar by Early Migrating Monarch Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) from Beaver Island, Michigan [PDF]
, 2019 Recent observations over the past decade suggest that the invasive star thistle (aka spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe L.) provides much of the nectar that supports monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) in their pre-migratory and early migratory flight

Oikos, EarlyView.Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Deriving Accurate Intertidal Topography for Sandy Beaches Using ICESat-2 Data and Sentinel-2 Imagery
Journal of Remote SensingSandy beaches are one of the most dominant coastal types across the world, which can protect the coast and provide tourism. The intertidal zone is inundated with dynamic tides, making it challenging to obtain the intertidal topography near sandy beaches ...
