“…The ubiquitous zonation of organisms along the intertidal gradient is perhaps the most striking characteristic of communities of the emergent substrata of rocky intertidal shores (Stephenson & Stephenson 1950, 1952, 1954a, b, Dayton 1931, Lubchenco & Menge 1978, Underwood 1981, Janke 1990). In tidepools, however, the relationship between the distribution of organisms and their height on the shore is less clear.…”

“…A number of studies have described the general structure of rocky intertidal communities on temperate shores throughout the world (e.g. Pyefinch 1943, Stephenson & Stephenson 1950, 1952, 1954a, b, Underwood 1980, Moore & Seed 1986, Brattstrom 1990, Janke 1990). Other studies have reviewed processes of community organization on rocky intertidal shores (e.g.…”

“…Biological zonation along the intertidal gradient is a prominent feature of the emergent substrata of rocky shores around the world (Stephenson & Stephenson 1950, 1952, 1954a, b, Dayton 1971, Lubchenco & Menge 1978, Underwood 1981, Janke 1990). In tidepools, however, zonation patterns are less clear due to large variability in species abundance among tidepools at similar tidal heights (see Metaxas & Scheibling 1993 for review).…”

“…Perhaps the clues leading to the explanation proposed here are in the statement of Womersley and Edmonds (1952, p. 89) who in discussing subzonation within their "littoral zone" say that it may be "divided into sub-zones as required," and in Du Rietz's (1940; papers, which in themselves are efforts toward a better and more nearly uniform explanation of zonation. Especially to be noted are the views of Stephenson and Stephenson (1949), who after many years of ocean-shore study have concluded that the intertidal zones are caused by the same factors that cause zonation around bodies of water such as fresh-water lakes.…”
