TL;DR: In this paper, a water mass flooding over a broad intertidal sand flat at Shark Bay, Western Australia demonstrated a pattern of progressively declining chlorophyll concentrations, and the observed rate of sestonic food depletion, when combined with reductions in feeding time during low tide, would predict a 59% lower growth for mid-intertidal vs. subtidal suspension feeders.

TL;DR: In this article, the Neuse River Estuary in North Carolina, USA has been used as a reference domain for the use of ecological network analysis for functional assessment of aquatic ecosystems in the context of ecosystem-based management.

TL;DR: The joint effect of multiple initial decisions made about sampling design in evaluation of environmental impacts using observational field assessments influences the ability to detect and ac- curately estimate responses as discussed by the authors, which can dictate in advance whether the study can identify even large impacts that truly exist.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the validity of these assumptions by merging results from 689 surveys of waterfront-property owners in NC with empirical shoreline damage data collected along estuarine shorelines after Hurricanes Irene (2011) and Arthur (2014).
