Community structure of the macroinfauna in the sediments below an intertidal mussel bed (Mytilus chilensis (Hupe)) of southern Chile
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2006)
Intertidal mussel beds from the South-western Atlantic show simple structure and uniform appearance: does environmental harshness explain the community?
(Taylor & Francis As, 2018-04)
Communities of the rocky mid-intertidal zone of the South-western Atlantic are uniform in appearance, dominated by dense monocultures of small-size mussels (Brachidontes rodriguezii and Perumytilus purpuratus). To explain ...
Effects of erosion-accretion processes on a community dominated by Brachidontes rodriguezii (Mollusca: Mytilidae) on a rocky outcrop of the South Atlantic coast
(Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Strong winds are powerful modifiers of coastal areas, altering sedimentary balance on sandy beaches and causing either loss (erosion) or gain (accretion) of sediment. Sand inundations can impact intertidal organisms by ...
Do treatments of sewage plants really work?: The intertidal mussels' community of the southwestern Atlantic shore (38ºS, 57ºW) as a case study

Effects of trampling on intertidal mussel beds: Importance of disturbance intensity
(Inter-Research, 2018-11-15)
Trampling is one of the most frequent forms of human disturbance on rocky shores. This activity may directly reduce the abundance of dominant species, indirectly promote changes in the abundance of associated species and ...
Edge effects and succession dynamics in Brachidontes mussel beds

Intertidal mussels as ecosystem engineers: their associated invertebrate biodiversity under contrasting wave exposures
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-02)
Mussels often act as ecosystem engineers in rocky intertidal habitats, favoring the occurrence of many small invertebrates by increasing habitat complexity and improving local environmental conditions. This study tests the ...
