TLDR
Field and culture studies on fucoid alga of the upper shore showed that their lower limits of distribution were determined largely by interspecific competition, with the possibility that differences in life history and palatibility to grazing molluscs contribute to the disparate competitive abilities of Pelvetia and Ascophyllum.About:

Physiological Aspects of Desiccation Tolerance
TL;DR: The results obtained allowed us to assess the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus, as a source of infection for other animals, not necessarily belonging to the same breeds.

Effects of climate change on global seaweed communities
Christopher D. G. Harley,Kathryn Anderson,Kyle W. Demes,Jennifer P. Jorve,Rebecca L. Kordas,Theraesa A. Coyle,Michael H. Graham +6 more
TL;DR: The ways in which changes in the environment directly affect seaweeds in terms of their physiology, growth, reproduction, and survival are described, and the extent to which seaweed species may be able to respond to these changes via adaptation or migration is considered.

Rocky intertidal communities: past environmental changes, present status and predictions for the next 25 years
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use examples from throughout the world to demonstrate the extent to which rocky shores have been, and are currently, affected by pollution (examples used are endocrine disrupters, oil, eutrophication), overcollection of living resources, introduced alien species, modification of coastal processes (coastal defences, siltation) and global change (climate, sea level).

Stress tolerance in intertidal seaweeds
Ian R. Davison,Gareth A. Pearson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the current understanding of stress tolerance in intertidal seaweeds and discuss ways in which future research could increase our understanding of the role of environmental factors in the ecology and physiology of these algae.

Community Organization in Temperate and Tropical Rocky Intertidal Habitats: Prey Refuges in Relation to Consumer Pressure Gradients
Bruce A. Menge,Jane Lubchenco +1 more
TL;DR: In the Panama system, three—dimensional space (holes and crevices) appears to be particularly important as a refuge from consumers, while escapes from consumers in body size, time, or two-dimensional space assume secondary importance for many prey.

Experimental Evaluation of Ecological Dominance in a Rocky Intertidal Algal Community
TL;DR: Algal succession in deeper Portage Head tidepools was found to be relatively slow with no clear dominance expressed after 5 yr, and the rate of algal succession following removal of the dominant algal species or of Strongylocentrotus is proportional to the degree of wave exposure.
