Use of the intertidal zone by mobile predators: influence of wave exposure, tidal phase and elevation on abundance and diet
Linkages between predators and their prey across the subtidal-intertidal boundary remain relatively unexplored. The influence of tidal phase, tidal height and wave exposure on the abundance, population structure and stomach contents of mobile predatory crabs was examined on rocky shores in southwest...
