Restoring vegetation in degraded ecosystems is an increasingly common practice for
promoting biodiversity and ecological function, but successful implementation is hampered …

Spartina species (cordgrasses) have been introduced to the estuaries around Europe, USA,
Australia, New Zealand and Asia as a coastal management tool to stabilise mud banks, and …

Data sets on the natural dynamics of beach ecosystems arc scarce and fragmentary. Such
data arc necessary for implementing more efficient monitoring programs that quantify the …

Ecologists have long been interested in identifying and testing factors that drive top‐down or
bottom‐up regulation of communities. Most studies have focused on factors that directly …

Through field experiments and chemical analysis of the sediment and pore water, we
investigated the effect of the burrowing crab Chasmagnathus granulatus on the distribution …

Coupling experiments at small spatial scales with large-scale surveys can help to generalize
experimental results across large spatial scales. The goal of the present study was to …

We combined literature reviews with an analysis of regional cartography, aerial
photographs, and satellite images to identify the locations of heretofore-unknown salt …

1. While great effort has been made in documenting the processes that drive plant-induced
susceptibility after herbivore attack and it is widely accepted that herbivores can facilitate …

The outcome of a species introduction depends, in large measure, on the abilities of the
invader and species in the receiving community to respond to their new environments. A …

Abstract The semiterrestrial crab Neohelice (= Chasmagnathus) granulata (Dana 1851) is a
predominant species in brackish salt marshes, mangroves and estuaries. Its larvae are …
