“…At least in part, this could explain why we found the estuarine sites yield higher intake rates for sanderlings. In fact, although we found no quantitative data on the biomass density of all potential sanderling prey in sandy beaches in other wintering areas, the densities of their main prey in coastal beaches in Japan, Ghana and Belgium were all considerably higher than in our coastal study sites (Nuka et al 2005;Speybroeck et al 2007;Ntiamoa-Baidu et al 2014).…”

“…Both in estuarine and non-estuarine sites the diet is diverse, including gastropods, polychaetes, bivalves, insects and crustaceans, similarly to what has been described for sanderlings wintering in other parts of the world (e.g. Nuka et al 2005;Reneerkens et al 2009). …”

“…Sanderling (Calidris alba) has been shown to be generalist feeders preying on crustaceans (isopods, amphipods and mysids) and other invertebrates such as polychaetes and bivalves that occur in the intertidal zone. The distribution of Sanderling wintering in Japan was significantly correlated with the distribution of Donax semigranosus, particularly in late December 2000 and in early February 2001 (Nuka et al, 2005).…”

“…The results of the present study indicate that, even before the loss of habitats, sandy beach peracarids may become extinct because of the increase in winter mortality caused by wave intensification. These peracarid species ecologically link the primary production and detrital organic matter that accumulates on sandy beaches (Kamihira 1992, Kaneko & Omori 2003 to upper trophic levels including fish and birds (Takahashi et al 1999, Nuka et al 2005. Therefore, local extinction of these peracarids will change the ecosystem functioning of the sandy beaches.…”

Sandy beach habitats are mainly controlled by the physical environmental factors. This study investigated the effects of winter storms on populations of sandy beach infaunal peracarids. Two contrasting areas on the Japan Sea coast were selected: exposed sandy beaches in Niigata and protected sandy beaches in Sado. Regional differences in the mortality rate of two species of peracarids, Haustorioides japonicus and Excirolana chiltoni, were examined over two years, focusing on periods of high storm intensity (fall and winter) when sandy beach habitats are frequently disturbed. The results demonstrated that: (1) the mortality rate on the exposed beaches (Niigata) was significantly higher than that on the protected beaches (Sado); (2) the mortality rate in 2009-2010 was significantly higher than that in 2008-2009; and (3) the mortality rates were not significantly different between the two species. Sediment grain size, sorting coefficient, and beach slope were not different between the two study areas. Dominant waves during the stormy seasons were from the northwest, to which the beaches in Niigata were directly exposed. Moreover, mean wave height was higher in 2009-2010 than in 2008-2009. Therefore, the variations in wave disturbances were herein considered to be the major cause of the mortality variations in the two species. According to the predicted scenarios of climate changes, wave intensification will likely increase in the future, therefore increasing the mortality and the potential risk of local extinctions of these sandy beach infaunal animals.
