TL;DR: An efficient algorithm and implementation of a dictionary-based approach to named entity recognition, which is used to identify names of species and other taxa in text, is developed.

TL;DR: Polytraits (http://polytraits.lifewatchgreece.eu) is described, a database on biological traits of marine polychaetes (bristle worms, Polychaeta: Annelida), which contains almost 20,000 records on morphological, behavioural and reproductive characteristics of more than 1,000 marinepolychaete species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the impact of human activities, such as trampling and mechanical beach cleaning, on Talitrus saltator in two ecologically similar coastal areas in Tuscany (Italy), one site belongs to a protected natural area and the other one is in front of a camping site.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of beach nourishment and groyne building on a sandy beach within the San Rossore-Migliarino-Massaciuccoli Regional Park (a natural park in Tuscany, Italy) on two different levels of organization: the abundance of the crustacean amphipod Talitrus saltator (population level) and community descriptors of the sandy beach arthropod fauna (community level), with emphasis on supralittoral species.

TL;DR: Results confirm plasticity in orientation of sandhoppers living on a dynamic shoreline, and show that variation in orientation could potentially be used as a bioindicator of shoreline changes.
