Abstract:

The intertidal zone is finely partitioned in species distributions and abundances. The demographies of key species over varying spatial and temporal scales are fundamental to understanding the population structure and overall dynamics of habitats and assemblages. In this thesis, settlement, dispersal and early life stage survival and growth were examined in several habitat-forming intertidal fucoid algae in New Zealand and Oregon, U.S.A. Natural settlement patterns of Hormosira banksii, Cystophora torulosa and Cystophora scalaris were quantified for over three years at a semi-protected shore

The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the role of biotic interactions, biogenic structures and successional patterns in several invertebrate soft bottom assemblages in the Ythan estuary, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The seasonal dynamics of the fauna found within a dense tube-field of <I>Lanice conchilega</I> were investigated. The abundance and composition of this fauna differed from that in the adjacent sediments and from that in the nearby sandflat at Red Inches. No consistent differences in abundance could be detected for any species throughout the tube-field, and the mussel (<I

Abstract:

A comprehensive study involving 52 microtidal beaches spanning from reflective to dissipative states and located in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans was carried out to unravel the relative roles of latitude and beach morphodynamics in determining beach macrobenthic species richness, abundance, biomass and mean individual body sizes. Since beach slope is one of the most important factors controlling beach fauna, a model based on beach geometry was applied to the sub-aerial beach deposit to understand the role of physical factors in predictin

Abstract:

Although sand deposits are present on many intertidal rocky shores, their effects on species richness, zonation and trophic structure have often been overlooked. This study is the first to recognise sand as an important abiotic factor on South African rocky shores. Rocky shores in the eastern Cape Province of South Africa are subject to extensive sand inundation and are composed of two hard substrata of differing topographies. Four sites on one substratum and six on the other were sampled quantitatively using quadrats. The biota were identified, counted and/ or weighed to provide a matrix of s

Benthic foraminifera inhabiting the mudflats of the Eden Estuary, NE Scotland, exhibited a single annual peak in abundance at both high (270 individuals 10 cm⁻²) and low shore (210 individuals 10 cm⁻²) intertidal sampling stations during June 2000. The increased total abundance coincided with reproduction in the two dominant foraminiferal species Elphidium williamsoni (May) and Haynesina germanica (June) at both sites. Benthic diatom biomass, measured as chlorophyll c, peaked at the high intertidal site during March and April 2001 (36 and 37 mg m cm⁻², respectively) and at the low intertidal s

Abstract:

With increasing human activity and urban development along coastal areas, much research has recently focussed on examining how fragmentation of habitats affect marine fauna in near-shore environments. This study examines relationships between density of populations and patch-size and the effect of edges of habitat on distributions of minute gastropods (microgastropods) living in patches of coralline algae on intertidal shores in south-eastem Australia.

Abstract:

Until recently most sandy beach studies have made use of snapshot samples but the validity of this approach has been widely questioned. In this study we attempt to resolve this issue by repeatedly sampling two beaches using a stratified random design. Three sampling sessions took place, each approximately six months apart. The three sites on the first beach were selected according to the type of beach (reflective, intermediate and dissipative) with each morphological type duplicated on the second beach. Many of the physical variables measured had significant differences between the sampling se

This study investigated the factors that maintain the patchiness of various rocky shore communities, particularly the roles of physical disturbance and biological interactions.

The study of the Laurencia turf showed it to be extremely stable once established and that its primary mode of recolonisation was by vegetative encroachment. Because of its slow grow

Crabs of the genus Dotilla are ecologically important members of intertidal sandy shore communities. Exposed sandy shores represent one of the main habitat types along the coast of the Laem Son National Park in Thailand, and Dotilla sp. is the dominant macrofaunal species on these beaches, occurring in immense numbers. Despite their importance as a key member of the faunal community on these beaches, little is known about the ecology of Dotilla crabs in the Laem Son. Taxonomic investigations identified the Dotilla crabs present on the exposed oceanic beaches in the Laem Son to be D. intermedia

Macroalgae are a dominant feature of many rocky intertidal habitats worldwide. An understanding of the processes affecting their growth and survival, especially at early life history stages, is therefore important to an understanding of the structure of rocky intertidal communities. This thesis examines the role that the sediment environment has on habitat-dominating fucoid algae and intertidal community structure. Measurements of sediment flux showed considerable spatial and seasonal variation, while the benthic sediment environment remained relatively stable. Experimental disturbances over 1

The strongest grazing effect among all marine benthic systems is on intertidal rocky shores. Among intertidal grazers, limpets are well-known structuring agents altering the distribution of rocky shore assemblages. Globally, there are other abundant herbivores whose ecological importance in the dynamics of rocky shores is poorly studied as is the case for herbivorous starfish. Parvulastra exigua is a small starfish that occurs at great densities in rock pools on intertidal shores.
