Particle size and biotic composition on Western Cape shores, including first description of the unique fauna of pebble and cobble beaches
Intertidal ecology research has focused primarily on sandy (grain size < 2mm), granule (2 –< 4mm), pebble (4 –< 64mm) or cobble (64 –< 256mm) shores, and only one on the biota of boulder (256+mm) shores. This study samples intermediate shore types (1 – 256mm) within the Western Cape for the first …
