Journal ArticleDOI
Ecologically meaningful transformations for ordination of species data
TL;DR: Transitions are proposed for species data tables which allow ecologists to use ordination methods such as PCA and RDA for the analysis of community data, while circumventing the problems associated with the Euclidean distance, and avoiding CA and CCA which present problems of their own in some cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facilitation of soft-bottom benthic succession by tube builders'
TL;DR: These experiments clearly documented that facilitation rather than inhibition is the dominant process governing succession in the Skagit community, and offers aviable alternate explanation for many soft-bottom benthic processes previously explained by the inhibition model.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological methods for food web analysis in a soft-bottom benthic community
TL;DR: The production of taxon-specific antisera is expected to provide the methodological tool necessary to document the breadth of trophic connections in a marine benthic food web.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of indicator bacteria and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in sewage-polluted intertidal sediments.
Michael P. Shiaris,A C Rex,G W Pettibone,K Keay,P McManus,M A Rex,J Ebersole,Eugene D. Gallagher +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that intertidal sediments which adjoin point sources of pollution are severely contaminated and should be considered as potentially hazardous reservoirs of sewage-borne diseases.
