VI. SELECTED ANNOTATIONS* 



ANIKOUCHINE, 1966. A mathematical description of the distribution of dissolved 

 chemicals— silicate, oxygen, sulfate, and manganese— in the interstitial water of marine 

 sediments. 



ANSELL, 1969. A thorough consideration of intertidal animals, especially mollusks, 

 stressing burrowing and emergence activities, agility, and environmental conditions of 

 the stress situation represented by the intertidal zone. Also mentions crustaceans of 

 intertidal zone. Good review. Emphasizes ability of these animals to survive under 

 adverse conditions. 



BIDER, 1968. Presents a method of tracking animal activity through swept-sand transects, 

 of possible application to beach areas. Activities categorized as due to: (1) animal 

 fluctuations, (2) phenol ogical fluctuations (maintenance, reproduction, etc.), 

 (3) meteorological fluctuations, and (4) climatological fluctuations. 



BROWN, A. D., 1964. A discussion of heterotrophic bacteria and fluctuations in bacterial 

 populations with seasons, chlorinity, and other factors. No correlation with temperature 

 or organic phosphorus or with phytoplankton populations. Counts from samples ranged 

 from 10 to 1,000 per mililiter. No species identifications attempted. 



BURTON, KATES, and SNEAD, 1969. A lengthy and illustrative discussion of the coastal 

 megalopolis, and the pro's and con's of coastal population increases. Must reading for 

 persons concerned with coastal zonation and human coastal affairs. 



CAIN, 1968. A discussion of the role of the ecologist as a synthesizer of knowledge and a 

 component in the overall organization that includes also clutural anthropologists, 

 economists, political scientists, and lawyers. A man-oriented discussion stressing 

 interactions. 



CHANDRASCKHARA and GANAPATI, 1968. A comprehensive study of fauna from 

 protozoans through higher invertebrates in relation to sediments, ranked as fine, 

 medium, and coarse. Majority of larger predators found in coarse-grained substrate; 

 maximum faunal concentrations in medium-grained; life-poor or sparse in fine grained 

 substrates (apparently corelated with absence of interstices of adequate size, oxygen- 

 carrying capacity, and other factors). Cites texture of substrate, temperature, moisture, 

 and food as primary distributional factors. Finds most intertidal animals of wide-spread 

 geographical occurrence and widely adaptable. 



CROKER, 1966. A discussion of interrelationships between species of amphipods. Great 

 overlaps exist. Different horizontal distributions and some vertical. Includes a discussion 

 of foods and feeding as well as of associated animals.
