| [diversity patterns in intertidal communities of three southern islands of changshan archipelago]. | the diversity pattern of intertidal communities in 3 southern islands of changshan archipelago were studied. the results showed that the community appearance and structure in rocky intertidal zones of 3 islands were regimented by dominant species chthamalus challengeri, ostrea spp., macro-algae and littorina brevicula, while in gravel intertidal zones of southern changshan and daheishan regimented by chthamalus challengeri, littorina brevicula, ostrea spp., and in northern changshan, by chthamal ... | 2003 | 12924133 |
| seasonality in the strength and spatial scale of processes determining intertidal barnacle population growth. | 1. population growth rate is determined by both density-dependent and density-independent processes. in the temperate zone, the strength and spatial scale of these processes are likely to differ seasonally, but such differences have rarely been quantitatively examined. 2. coverage, the area occupied by organisms, is a measure of resource use in sessile marine populations. population models used for density-based studies should be able to characterize effectively fluctuations in coverage, but few ... | 2010 | 20636347 |
