Recruitment determines differences between assemblages on shaded or unshaded seawalls
The distribution of intertidal organisms can often be determined by processes operating at the time of recruitment. Recruitment has been demonstrated to influence the composition of assemblages of natural habitats, but there is less evidence of its importance in artificial habitats. Coastal areas are becoming increasingly urbanised, with the replacement of many natural habitats by man-made stru...
متن کاملRole of recruitment in causing differences between intertidal assemblages on seawalls and rocky shores
Following progressive urbanisation of coastal areas, artificial structures are becoming common features of landscapes in shallow waters. Despite this, few studies have focused on the ecological role of these structures or have attempted to assess the extent to which they can act as surrogates for natural habitats. This study investigated whether colonisation of space can determine the occurrenc...
متن کاملHard Coral Assemblages on Seawalls in Singapore
— Singapore’s shores have been extensively modifi ed to meet the rising demands of economic and recreational activities, and seawalls are a resultant ubiquitous feature of the island state’s coastline. In spite of the harsh environmental conditions, seawalls in Singapore are known to harbour rich intertidal communities. This study surveyed the hard coral assemblages at zones immediately above a...
متن کاملEffects of shaded versus unshaded wallows on behavior, performance, and physiology of the outdoor lactating sow.
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of shading wallows during the summer months on lactating sow behavior, performance, and physiology. A total of 128 sows were used during warm weather (May to August 2001) to determine the effects of unshaded (control; n = 8) vs. shaded (SH; n = 8) wallows. Sows ranged over 6 parities and were fed a completely balanced sorghum-based diet...
متن کاملPhysiological , behavioral , and serological responses of horses to shaded or unshaded pens in a hot , sunny environment 1
Housing recommendations for horses invariably include providing access to shade on hot, sunny days, but the potential benefits have not been scientifically studied. This experiment measured physiological, behavioral, and serological responses of horses confined individually to completely shaded (SH) or completely unshaded (SUN) drylot pens during the summer in Davis, CA. Twelve healthy adult ho...
