Abstract Aim Topographic complexity is widely accepted as a key driver of biodiversity, but at the patch‐scale, complexity–biodiversity relationships may vary spatially and temporally according to environmental stressors mitigates, species richness identity potential colonists. Using manipulative experiment, we assessed spatial variation in patch‐scale effects on intertidal biodiversity. Location 27 sites within 14 estuaries/bays distributed globally. Time period 2015–2017. Major taxa...

A key challenge for ecologists is to quantify, explain and predict the ecology behaviour of animals from knowledge their basic physiology. Compared our many other types distribution behaviour, how these are linked individual function, we have a poor level understanding causal basis orientation behaviours. Most explanations patterns animal assume that will modify exposure environmental factors by altering orientation. We used keystone grazer on rocky shores, limpet Cellana tramoserica, test...
Biogenic structures that persist post‐mortem are ubiquitous, but rarely considered as key ecological features. Post‐mortem in many systems exert community‐level effects and thus the dynamics of their degradation (i.e. taphonomy) become important affecting community functions ecosystem services, these often‐overlooked may rival influence recruitment typical post‐recruitment processes. Moreover, some highly researched habitat types, be mistaken for living organisms, introducing significant...

AbstractPatellogastropod limpets are a widespread and extensively studied taxa, yet comparisons between species geographic regions rare; instead, results often generalized across these differences. This study investigated patterns of head orientation in Patella at four locations the UK. The proportion downwards facing was also compared areas two with without barnacles. Regardless location, there strong bias did not differ presence exhibited by Australian patellogastropod Cellana tramoserica;...
