Effects of habitat modification in mangroves on the structure of mollusc and crab assemblages
Greg A. Skilleter,S Warren +1 more
TL;DR: The responses by the biota to the changes in the physical environment demonstrate that even relatively small-scale modifications to the physical structure of subtropical mangrove forests can lead to significant effects on the diversity and abundance of macrobenthic organisms in these habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topographic heterogeneity, hydrodynamics, and benthic community structure: a scale-dependent cascade
Frédéric Guichard,Edwin Bourget +1 more
TL;DR: The results support the hypotheses that (1) hydrodynamics is a vector linking topographic heterogeneity and community structure, and (21) this cascade (topographic heterogeneity + hydrodynamicics + community structure) is scale-dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of methods for labeling and tracking marine invertebrate larvae
TL;DR: Methods for marking invertebrate larvae for use in dispersal studies include staining, tagging with calcium replacements, radiotracers and rare elements, and use of genetic, morphological, and parasite markers.

Basin-scale coherence of population dynamics of an exploited marine invertebrate, the bay scallop: implications of recruitment limitation
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a red tide (Ptychodiscus brevis) outbreak on bay scallops Argopecten irradians concentricus in North Carolina, USA, from October 1987 to February 1988 were necessarily limited to the 2 generations then present (adults of the year-class fished in winter 1987-88 and their progeny harvested in 1988-89).

Three stages of seasonal succession on the Savin Hill Cove mudflat, Boston Harbor
TL;DR: Succession on this mudflat is a fast-paced and dynamic process affected by epipelic diatom production, the timing and duration of juvenile recruitment, and the ability of the infauna to survive in dense assemblages of tube builders.
