Long-term variability in larval recruitment rates of a callianassid shrimp population on an intertidal sandflat in an estuary-to-coastal ocean interface area in relation to river discharge and shelf water movement, western Kyushu, Japan
Food availability is believed to affect macro-invertebrate larval survival at sea, which was poorly demonstrated. On the coast immediately outside an estuary (Ariake Sound, Kyushu, Japan), a population of the ...

Long-term changes in a trochid gastropod population affected by biogenic sediment stability on an intertidal sandflat in regional metapopulation context
Although destabilization and stabilization of soft sediments by macro-infauna are regarded as key to understanding benthic community dynamics, how component populations are affected concurrently by both agents...

Facultative commensalism of a free-burrowing urothoid amphipod with a deep burrow-dwelling callianassid shrimp in intertidal sand
Species of the free-burrowing amphipod genus, Urothoe, are common on open sandy beaches. On intertidal sandflats, some species are associated with burrows or tubes of large infauna. How this link is formed and pe...

Reproductive cycle of the venerid clam Meretrix lusoria in Ariake Sound and Tokyo Bay, Japan
We assessed the reproductive cycle of the venerid clam Meretrix lusoria by histological analysis of the gonads. Individuals for study were collected from natural populations on the Shirakawa tidal flat, Ariake So...

Extinction of the trochid gastropod,Umbonium (Suchium) moniliferum (Lamarck), and associated species on an intertidal sandflat
On an intertidal sandflat in western Kyushu, Japan in 1979, the trochid gastropod,Umbonium (Suchium) moniliferum (Lamarck), and the thalassinidean ghost shrimp,Callianassa japonica Ortmann, densely inhabited the ...

Co-occurrence of the cirolanid isopodEurydice nipponica Bruce & Jones and the ghost shrimpCallianasa japonica Ortmann on an intertidal sand flat
On a moderately protected intertidal sand flat in west Kyushu, Japan, most of the population of the cirolanid isopodEurydice nipponica Bruce & Jones (89%–100%) was found in the zones occupied by the thalassinidea...
