Many studies have demonstrated human impacts on sandy beach macroinvertebrates.
However, little is known about causative drivers among multiple co-occurring stressors and …

Species richness and abundance of macrofauna on sandy shores increase from microtidal
reflective to macrotidal dissipative beach conditions. However, no attempt has been made to …

Testing ghost crabs as indicator species usually fail to depict the mechanisms behind low
burrow densities in urban coasts, neglecting individual traits as diagnostic variables. We …

Spatial and temporal environmental heterogeneity influences biodiversity distribution
patterns and dynamics on sandy beaches. In these ecosystems, the microscale vertical …

Several attempts have been made to find universal zonation schemes for the benthic fauna
in sandy beaches. Usually, the nature and number of zones are not fixed and depend on the …

We compared the two most commonly used sampling methods, pitfall trapping and quadrat
sieving, to study community diversity and talitrid abundance on sandy beaches. They are …

The across-shore distribution of arthropods in two Uruguayan sandy beach–dune​ systems
with contrasting morphodynamics was investigated. A deconstructive analysis was …

Ocean sandy beaches are prime sites for human recreation. The integrity of these
ecosystems may suffer greatly from tourism-related pressures. Behavioural adaptations of …

Animal behavior represents the connection between individuals and their environment.
Environmental conditions on sandy beaches determine the presence, demographic …

Beach-hoppers and sandhoppers in the family Talitridae are strongly linked to the
supralittoral environment. They are semi-terrestrial animals and because they are direct …
