Raptor Predation on Wintering Dunlins in Relation to the Tidal Cycle [PDF]
The Condor, 2004 AbstractAt Boundary Bay, British Columbia, Canada, Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) captured 94 Dunlins (Calidris alpina) in 652 hunts. The two main hunting methods were open attacks on flying Dunlins (62%) and stealth attacks on roosting or foraging Dunlins (35%). Peregrines hunted throughout the day, yet the kill rate per observation hour dropped

Life Cycle Assessment of Electricity Generation from an Array of Subsea Tidal Kite Prototypes [PDF]
, 2020 Tidal current technologies have the potential to provide highly predictable energy, since tides are driven by lunar cycles. However, before implementing such technologies on a large scale, their environmental performance should be assessed. In this study,

Sedimentation Cycles in a River-Mouth Tidal Freshwater Marsh [PDF]
, 1998 Tidal freshwater marshes are critical buffers that exist at the interface between watersheds and estuaries. Little is known about the physical dynamics of tidal freshwater marsh evolution. Over a 21 month period from July 1995 to March 1997, measurements

Fluctuations of Water Quality during a Tidal Cycle in Banzu Tidal Flat.
Journal of Japan Society on Water Environment, 2002 Field observations were carried out in Banzu intertidal flat in Tokyo Bay throughout two days in the summer of 2000, in order to clarify the spatiotemporal fluctuatuions of water quality during a tidal cycle. Concentrations of DO, ON (TN-DIN) or OP (TP-PO4-P) at the offshore station were higher than those at the onshore station, whereas DIN and PO4-P ...
