Vertical variation in the distribution of rocky shore assemblages is greater than horizontal
variation, as shown by univariate and multivariate analysis performed with data obtained …

Rocky shore communities are shaped by complex interactions among environmental drivers
and a range of biological processes. Here, we investigated the importance of abiotic and …

Limpets are pivotal for structuring and regulating the ecological balance of littoral
communities and are widely collected for human consumption and as fishing bait. Limpets of …

A rocky shores working group (WG) integrated with ReBentos (Monitoring Network for
Coastal Benthic Habitats; Rede de Monitoramento de Habitats Bentônicos Costeiros) was …

We investigated the recruitment of intertidal barnacles and mussels at three temporal scales
(months, weeks and days), and its relationships to physical forcings, chlorophyll-a …

Peracarid crustaceans are an important component of the vagile fauna associated with
coralline algal beds, which often characterize the infralittoral fringe of tropical rocky shores …

The roles of herbivory and predation in determining the structure and diversity of
communities have been tested across most intertidal systems. In contrast, the importance of …

In contrast to what is observed in most temperate regions, perennial macroalgae are rare at
the mid intertidal level of tropical and subtropical shores, and energy transfer through …

Rocky shores are prominent features of the Brazilian SE-S coast that define the coastal
contour in the region and are interspersed by sand beaches. The intertidal and subtidal …

Intertidal rocky shores present several organisms that are commonly distributed in specific
zones or particular associations parallel to the coast, with species variations over short …
