In order to identify how research contributes to the knowledge of marine litter as a pressure
on beaches, we reviewed interactions of beach fauna with this pollutant. Entanglement of …

In this study, we aimed to identify impacts of plastic ingestion by the ecologically important
rocky shore crab Pachygrapsus transversus. We sampled individuals from August 2019 to …

Demographic shifts in populations of bioindicator species are widely used to gauge the
extent of impacts of human disturbances on ecosystems. Yet, the mechanistic drivers of …

Gelatinous animals have been historically viewed as trophic dead-ends. However, there are
increasing data showing these organisms being consumed by diverse predators and …

Studies on feeding habits are fundamental to characterising the trophic role that species
play in an ecosystem. They also help to understand the dynamics of populations involved in …

Abstract Sixty morphospecies of Decapoda (Malacostraca: Crustacea) representing 34

Abstract Information on the population biology of sandy beach species is a critical tool in
ecosystem conservation programs. Knowledge of population parameters such as …

The effects of high-energy weather events may be most dramatic on coast dominated by
sandy beaches, characteristic habitat of the Atlantic ghost crab. This study evaluates the …

Abstract Knowledge about the influence of biological interactions in the structuring and
functioning of benthic communities on Brazilian sandy beaches is still limited. Most studies …
