Allochthonous subsidies of organic material can profoundly influence population and
community structure; however, the role of consumers in the processing of these inputs is less …

Infaunal organisms living within marine sediments can provide valuable information about
the effect of key environmental factors, acting as ecological indicators eg species …

Sediment grain size is a fundamental parameter conditioning beach-face morphology and
shoreline changes. From remote sensing data, an efficient definition of the shoreline position …

We evaluated the influence of storm waves on the intertidal community structure of
urbanized and non-urbanized areas of a sandy beach on the northern coast of Rio de …

Sandy beach ecological theory states that physical features of the beach control
macrobenthic community structure on all but the most dissipative beaches. However, few …

Food webs in ecotones linking adjacent ecosystems may depend on cross-ecosystem
subsidies. In surf zones of temperate sandy beaches, higher-level consumers often rely on …

The aim of the study was to investigate hydrodynamic effects on the formation of beach
wrack at three locations in the northern Baltic Sea and to quantify the differences between …

Near-shore benthic biotopes, in the 2–30 m depth range, were analyzed and mapped using
a combination of biological, sedimentary and acoustic data to interrogate the utility of these …

Geoenvironmental dynamics of habitats for a number of species and their linkage with
biological activity and species diversity remain poorly understood. This study presents an …

Our understanding of the response of macrofauna diversity patterns to the variability of
sandy beaches across spatial scales is limited. Defining relationships between diversity and …
