The Ecology of Natural Disturbance and Patch Dynamics brings together the findings and
ideas of researchers studying such varied systems as marine invertebrate communities; …

For rocky intertidal organisms, temperature is often considered the most influential factor
governing early survival and growth. Nevertheless, our review of the literature revealed that …

Much effort has been devoted to understanding the factors promoting species colonisation,
and processes that may cause small incipient populations to fail. Post colonisation and …

Thermal environment is often regarded as a key determinant of distribution limits in marine
invertebrates and hence may represent one of the most important barriers to invasion by non …

Presence‐absence data of benthic macro‐invertebrates and associated habitat (ie,
sediment type and depth) were collected using a towed camera sled in selected areas along …

Larvae of marine invertebrates may vertically position themselves in locations where
conditions favor growth, development, and survival. Areas in stratified water columns with …

Urbanisation of coastal habitats, particularly the increased numbers of pier-pilings, jetties
and seawalls along shorelines, affects natural systems. Epibiota on secondary substrata …

Patchy distributions within landscapes may be caused by migration in response to different
types of habitat patches. Intertidal boulder fields are landscapes in which boulders are …

Patterns of settlement and postsettlement mortality determine the distribution and
abundance of sessile marine organisms. In mangrove forests and on rocky shores of eastern …

Chez les invertébrés benthiques marins à cycle de vie bentho-pélagique, le taux de fixation-
métamorphose est l'un des facteurs déterminant du succès de recrutement et donc du …
