Analysis of the spatial variability in abundance and age structure of two infaunal bivalves, Cerasto-derma edule and C. lamarcki, using hierarchical sampling programs

Abstract: Spatial variability in abundance and age distnbution of 2 infaunal bivalves, Cerastoderma edule (Linnaeus, 1785) and C. lamarcki (Reeve, 1845), were quantified using hierarchical sampling programs. The scales investigated ranged between 10' and 10' m. Analyses of variance revealed significant vanability in abundance among sites within bays (-100 m apart) for both species and also among bays (-1 km apart) for C. lamarcki. Mean age vaned at several spatiai scales. For both species, however, the scale contributin… Show more

“…This is not uncommon in studies of this nature (e.g. Lindergarth et al 1994, Underwood & Chapman 1996, a b e r g & Pavia 1997). This suggests that important structuring processes occur at a scale below the minimum scale in this study (Aberg & Pavia 1997).…”

“…Furthermore, most studies took place in Australia, the North Atlantic region and the Mediterranean Sea. Few papers covered other geographical areas such as the Arctic (Lindegarth et al 1995), Antarctic (Stark et al 2003), South America (Uruguay, Giménez & Yannicelli 2000) or Central America (Belize; Farnsworth & Ellison 1996). The larger number of studies conducted in temperate areas was probably unrelated to particularly favorable environmental conditions for field work, since even tropical areas have not been investigated in detail for this specific topic (but see Farnsworth & Ellison 1996, Hughes et al 1999.…”

“…Moreover, most papers focused on rocky intertidal habitats. The distributional patterns of both populations and assemblages of intertidal soft bottoms have been explored to a lesser extent than those of hard bottoms (Lindegarth et al 1995, Thrush et al 1997a, Giménez & Yannicelli 2000. The reason for this bias possibly resides in the long processing time of the large numbers of replicates that are required when a hierarchical sampling design is used.…”

“…Previous studies were mainly focused on morphological and genetic discrimination of both cockle species (see above), as well as comparison of their ecology and physiology (e.g., Rygg, 1970;Boyden, 1972;Brock, 1979Brock, , 1980Lindegarth et al, 1995;Wilson and Elkaim, 1997). Genetic variability of some European populations of both species was analyzed using isoenzyme electrophoresis (Hummel et al, 1994).…”
