Interpretation of benthic foraminiferal stable isotopes in subtidal estuarine environments
Here we present a novel approach for the interpretation of stable isotope signatures recorded in benthic foraminifera from subtidal estuarine environments. The stable isotopic composition (δ18O and δ13C) of living Ammonia tepida and Haynesina germanica is examined at four stations in the Auray River estuary (Gulf of Morbihan, France) sampled in two contrasting seasons, spring 2006 and winter 20...
متن کاملMarkov chain analysis of succession in a rocky subtidal community.
We present a Markov chain model of succession in a rocky subtidal community based on a long-term (1986-1994) study of subtidal invertebrates (14 species) at Ammen Rock Pinnacle in the Gulf of Maine. The model describes successional processes (disturbance, colonization, species persistence, and replacement), the equilibrium (stationary) community, and the rate of convergence. We described succes...
متن کاملCascading Effects of Ocean Acidification in a Rocky Subtidal Community
Temperate marine rocky habitats may be alternatively characterized by well vegetated macroalgal assemblages or barren grounds, as a consequence of direct and indirect human impacts (e.g. overfishing) and grazing pressure by herbivorous organisms. In future scenarios of ocean acidification, calcifying organisms are expected to be less competitive: among these two key elements of the rocky subtid...
متن کاملInfluence of shoreline configuration on spatial variation of meroplanktonic larvae, recruitment and diversity of benthic subtidal communities
Recruitment, abundance (percentage cover, density) and diversity (H9) of a benthic subtidal community were examined in relation to large scale ( > 0.15 km) shoreline configuration in the St. Lawrence Estuary (Canada). Settlement panels were moored inside and outside bays of different sizes (0.15, 1.5, 4 and 7 km aperture) and along a portion of straight ( ̄ 12 km) coast. Only the largest bay wa...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Changes in Subtidal Benthic Crustaceans Along a Coastal River-Estuarine Gradient in Mississippi
Benthic crustaceans were collected monthly between 24 August 1985 and 20 September 1986 from tidal freshwater (TFW), oligohaline (OH) and mesohaline (h4H) sites in Old Fort Bayou, a black-water tidal river of the Biloxi Bay estuary, Mississippi. Salinity varied seasonally and spatially and was primarily related to variations in rainfall during this study. Reduced rainfall after October 1985 res...
