Henriques: Soft Shore, Intertidal Faunal Community Structure
The effects of pollution (nutrient enrichment). and the presence of macrovegetation on the species diversity and density of large benthic fauna in the Manukau Harbour, Auckland, were studied by sampling eight soft shore, intertidal habitats. Pollution was found to reduce faunal density but to have only a slight effect on species diversity. The presence of dense meadows of the intertidal seaweed...
متن کاملSoft bottom community structure and diversity in Kongsfjorden (Svalbard)
Marine diversity is currently one of the most studied topics in ecology especially under the frame of global and regional environmental changes. In the marine realm biodiversity declines from the tropics to the Arctic (Thorson 1957, Brattegard & Holthe 1997, Roy et al. 1996, 1998, Gray 2001). Habitat and environmental heterogeneity generally favour biodiversity; additionally, intermediate physi...
متن کاملChanges in the soft-bottom macrobenthic diversity and community structure from the ports of Mumbai, India.
Soft-bottom macrobenthic diversity and community structure were assessed at Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru ports during three different periods between 2001 and 2002 (November 2001 post-monsoon 1, April/May 2002 pre-monsoon, and October 2002 post-monsoon 2). A total of 43 macrobenthic invertebrate species belonging to five phyla were recorded. Macrofaunal abundance (PM1 186, PreM 106, and PM2 31 i...
متن کاملEffects of predation by sea ducks on clam abundance in soft-bottom intertidal habitats
Recent studies have documented strong, top-down predation effects of sea ducks on mussel populations in rocky intertidal communities. However, the impact of these gregarious predators in soft-bottom communities has been largely unexplored. We evaluated effects of predation by wintering surf scoters Melanitta perspicillata and white-winged scoters M. fusca on clam populations in soft-bottom inte...
متن کاملSeabird guano as a determinant of rocky intertidal community structure
Seabird guano is recognized as a powerful fertilizer and its entry into the intertidal zone of seabird breeding islands off the west coast of South Africa is hypothesized to cause enhanced intertidal algal production. Intertidal nutrient levels and algal production were measured monthly on the shores of seabird islands and on nearby mainland shores where no aggregabons of seabirds occur. The sh...
