Marine organisms have occupied hard substrates since the Archaean. Shells, rocks, wood
and sedimentary hardgrounds offer relatively stable habitats compared to unconsolidated …

The study of succession has been hampered by the lack of a general theory. This is
illustrated by confusion over basic concepts and inadequacy of certain models. This review …

The principle objective of this book is to review the biological characteristics of estuaries.
The volume has been as a text for undergraduates and graduate students as well as …

In an age when human modification of natural substrata is increasingly cited as an agent of
population decline and extinction, understanding the role of artificial surfaces as surrogate …

Questions of successional pattern and causality have been central concerns in vegetation
ecology. In this paper we address the limits of the overextended models of Connell and …

Connell and Slatyer (1977) proposed three alternative models to explain successional
change (facilitation, inhi-bition, and tolerance). These models have become a constructive …

The effect of four substrata (concrete, plywood, fibreglass and aluminium) on the recruitment
of species and development of an intertidal estuarine fouling assemblage was examined in …

Most general models do not include herbivory as a major agent of successional change.
Potentially, herbivores can affect succession in three ways: accelerating or decelerating the …

The orientation and position of hard substrata used to test ecological hypotheses about
sessile marine plants and animals have often been based on logistical convenience. Much …
