Assessing diatom-mediated fatty acids in intertidal biofilm: a new conservation concern
Biofilm communities on intertidal mudflats are recognized as major producers of nutrients, especially fatty acids. The rising threats posed by both...

Resource utilisation and trophic niche overlap of coralline intertidal benthic amphipods: an isotopic perspective
Benthic amphipod feeding groups are a well-established trophic classification that is mostly based on field observations and laboratory tests and are...

Bloom of tetracycline resistance genes in mudflats following fertilization is attributed to the increases in the shared potential hosts between soil and organic fertilizers
A field experiment was carried out in mudflats adjacent to the Yellow Sea, China, amended with sewage sludge and vermicompost by one-time input at...

Intraspecific Abundance–Occupancy–Patchiness Relations in the Intertidal Benthic Macrofauna of a Cool-Temperate North Sea Mudflat
The macroecological variable of patchiness (Lloyd’s I p index of patchiness, P ) has recently been shown to be related inter- and intraspecifically to...
