Spatial and temporal variation in benthic macrofauna and relationships with environmental variables in an estuarine, intertidal soft-sediment environment
T Ysebaert, PMJ Herman - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2002 - int-res.com
We quantified the distribution, abundance, biomass and assemblage structure of benthic
macrofauna at different spatio-temporal scales in a temperate estuarine, intertidal soft …

Molluscan systematics: historical perspectives and the way ahead
Mollusca, the second‐most diverse animal phylum, is estimated to have over 100,000 living
species with great genetic and phenotypic diversity, a rich fossil record, and a considerable …

Changes in habitat complexity negatively affect diverse gastropod assemblages in coralline algal turf
BP Kelaher - Oecologia, 2003 - Springer
The physical structure of a habitat generally has a strong influence on the diversity and
abundance of associated organisms. I investigated the role of coralline algal turf structure in …

Independent effects of patch size and structural complexity on diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates
Despite a long history of work on relationships between area and number of species, the
details of mechanisms causing patterns have eluded ecologists. The general principle that …

Succession patterns in algal turf vegetation on a Caribbean coral reef
Over the past three decades, Caribbean coral reefs have drastically changed in structure
and organization due to anthropogenically driven environmental changes. The prognostic …

Polychaete assemblages along a rocky shore on the South Adriatic coast (Mediterranean Sea): patterns of spatial distribution
This study reports on the distribution of polychaete assemblages along a depth gradient
from 5 to 25 m, along a stretch of rocky coast near Otranto (South Adriatic sea, Italy). Three …

Intertidal assemblages associated with naturalcorallina turf and invasive mussel beds
MG Chapman, J People, D Blockley - Biodiversity & Conservation, 2005 - Springer
There is considerable concern about conservation of biodiversity in highly disturbed and
urbanized environments, although a very large proportion of biodiversity (ie the small and …
