The intertidal zone of the North-East Atlantic region: pattern and process.
Hawkins, SJ; Pack, KE; Firth, LB; Mieskowska, N; Evans, AJ; Martins, GM; Aberg, P; Adams, LC; Arenas, F; Boaventura, DM; Bohn, K; Borges, CDGThe north-east Atlantic region is an area where clades originating in the north Pacific (fucoids, balanoids, littorinids, thaids, laminarians) collide with clades from further south in the Atlantic (e.g., patellids, trochids, chthamalids). At high latitudes in the north, seaweeds dominate the midshore zone of all but the most exposed shores. Further south, midshore space-occupying invertebrates (mussels and bar...
Impact of freshwater inputs on the spatial structure of benthic macroinvertebra...
Félix, PM; Correia, MJ; Chainho, P; Costa, JL; Chaves, ML; Cruz, T; Castro, JJ; Mirra, C; Domingos, I; Silva, ACF; Cancela da Fonseca, LLandlocked lagoons are naturally stressed environments. They are strongly influenced by freshwater input which not only varies naturally, but which is also impacted by anthropogenic activities. This study investigated the direct influence of freshwater discharges on the distribution patterns and abundance of benthic communities in two neighbouring landlocked coastal lagoons, assessing the whole system and the c...
