Aim Our aim in this paper is to present the first broad‐scale quantification of species
abundance for rocky intertidal communities along the Pacific coast of North America. Here …

Assemblages associated with intertidal rocky shores were examined for large scale
distribution patterns with specific emphasis on identifying latitudinal trends of species …

We conducted field surveys of rocky intertidal communities at 18 sites distributed between
29 S and 36 S on the coast of central Chile in order to document broad patterns of functional …

Factors and processes affecting community structures operate at various spatial and
temporal scales. We analyzed how similarities of rocky intertidal assemblages vary at …

The region of the eastern North Pacific coastline dominated by the California Current was
surveyed annually from 2001‐2003 to examine (1) benthic macro‐invertebrate and algal …

This study examined the latitudinal gradient of species diversity of rocky intertidal sessile
assemblages on the slopes of rocks along the Northwestern Pacific coast of Japan, located …

Identifying the environmental conditions that drive biogeographic structure remains a major
challenge of biogeography, evolutionary ecology and increasingly, conservation biology …

AimThe community composition of benthic macroinvertebrates from 295 estuarine sites was
examined in order to either confirm or challenge established boundaries of zoogeographical …

Aim We evaluated whether patterns of species diversity (α, β and γ) of rocky shore
assemblages followed latitudinal gradients (ie LDGs) along the South American coasts, and …

The biogeography of the Peruvian Eastern Pacific coast has been described based on
oceanographic parameters and qualitative species occurrence data. This has generated …
