Book Synopsis Anthropogenic Impacts on Ghost Crab, Ocypode Quadrata, Populations, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands by : Kaliegh Schlender

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, sandy beaches support local economies and are the most commonly-used type of coastline by people (Davis & FitzGerald, 2004; Schlacher et al., 2007), with beaches serving as popular attractions in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) for visitors from around the world. However, high urbanization causes the degradation of coastal resources. Ghost crabs, Ocypode, display predicable responses to anthropogenic impacts, and are popular ecological indicator reflecting the level of ecological stress present in sandy beaches (Barros, 2001; Costa et al., 2019; Costa & Zalmon, 2019; Gül & Griffen, 2019; Peterson et al., 2000). Although St. Thomas, USVI is a popular tourist destination, there are no beach studies in the USVI identifying beach types or the impact of high urbanization from tourism through the use of ghost crabs, to-date. This study characterizes beach types using multiple indices (Beach Index, Beach Deposit Index, Log(1/Beach Slope), and Relative Tide Range) based on physical parameters (beach slope, grain size, and wave height) for eight beaches (Stumpy Bay, Santa Maria Bay, Caret Bay, Neltjeberg Bay, Lindberg Bay, Magens Bay, Coki Point Beach, and Sapphire Beach) on St. Thomas to establish a baseline for beach types on the island. Surveys were conducted during high tourist season from February 3 - March 19, 2020 and low- tourist season from May 18 - June 25, 2020 during early morning hours. Site values for Beach Index, Beach Deposit Index, and Log (1/Beach Slope) were compared using Kruskal- Wallis Rank Sum tests and Dunn Post Hoc tests, and results indicated that all beaches were wave dominated reflective, with slight variations detected best by Log (1/Beach Slope). Additionally, urbanization effects were assessed using a modified Urbanization Index using six different variables (buildings on sand, solid waste, visitor frequency, distance to urban center, beach cleaning, and vehicle traffic) to calculate specific urbanization levels across study sites.

Book Synopsis Modification of Trophic Links Between an Omnivore and Macroinfaunal Prey from Sandy Beaches of Differing Physical Regimes by : Kristina Joan Morrow

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandy beach ecosystems have been studied worldwide; however, ecological data are sparse for the extensive barrier islands of Florida. Accordingly, I investigated the feeding patterns of the ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata), a dominant omnivore inhabiting beaches along the Floridian coast. Density data was collected for ghost crabs and swash macroinfaunal prey. In addition, I utilized stable isotopes in conjunction with the mixing models IsoSource and SIAR to characterize diets of ghost crabs across three barrier islands in spring and summer 2011. Results showed that ghost crabs at Cayo Costa feed primarily on swash macroinfauna, while those from Anclote Key shifted their diet to one comprised primarily of semi-terrestrial amphipods. However, at Honeymoon Island, ghost crab isotopic signatures were best explained by a mixed diet of both macroinfauna and wrack-associated prey. The unique consumption of wrack fauna at Anclote Key co-occurs with comparatively low infaunal densities and biomass, and modified ghost crab behavior due to trait-mediated effects. My results are novel because they suggest that wrack-associated fauna may be an important food source for ghost crabs in certain beach regimes.

Book Synopsis Oceanography and Marine Biology by : R.N. Hughes
Download or read book Oceanography and Marine Biology written by R.N. Hughes and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and their relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarising the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has catered to this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes fifty years ago. Its objectives are to consider, annually, the basic areas of marine research, returning to them when appropriate in future volumes; to deal with subjects of special and topical importance; and to add new subjects as they arise. The favourable reception accorded to all the volumes shows that the series is fulfilling a very real need: reviews and sales have been gratifying. The fifty-second volume follows closely the objectives and style of the earlier volumes, continuing to regard the marine sciences—with all their various aspects—as a unity. Physical, chemical, and biological aspects of marine science are dealt with by experts actively engaged in these fields. The series is an essential reference text for researchers and students in all fields of marine science and related subjects, and it finds a place in libraries of not only marine stations and institutes, but also universities. It is consistently among the highest ranking impact factors for the marine biology category of the citation indices compiled by the Institute for Scientific Information.
Book Synopsis The Population Ecology and Conservation of Charadrius Plovers by : Mark A. Colwell
Download or read book The Population Ecology and Conservation of Charadrius Plovers written by Mark A. Colwell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 40 or so species of beach-loving plovers (genus Charadrius) comprise a diverse group of shorebirds found around the world. Most of these species are challenged by changing climates and other human-related development activities, yet they provide key insights into basic ecological and evolutionary processes. The expert international contributors take a comparative approach, presenting examples from many worldwide plover studies and synthesizing the group’s most pressing and important topics. The book further presents an emphasis on full life-cycle biology, including the importance of examining migratory connectivity issues, even for non-migratory plovers.
