- <meta content="Aim A number of terrestrial invertebrates are known to have distributions limited to the
- immediate coastal zone, but the factors controlling their distributions are not well understood.
- This study was planned to correlate the distribution of a coastal terrestrial
- amphipod, Austrotroides maritimus Friend 1987, which is only found within 100 m of
- the high tide mark, with soil characteristics and salt deposition.
- Location South Cape Rivulet Bay on the south coast of Tasmania (146 degrees 47' E, 43 degrees 36' S).
- Methods Abundance of the amphipods was examined at four sites c. 200 m apart that
- varied in their exposure to onshore westerly winds. At each site four replicate transect
- lines were established 3 m apart, with pitfall traps set at 2-m intervals. The lines were at
- right angles to the high water mark and extended beyond the inland limit of A. maritimus.
- Amphipods were trapped at three times of the year, in winter, spring and summer
- (1993-94), and the sodium content, organic content and moisture content of the soil at
- each trap site were measured. The sodium content of rain falling on the transects, was
- also measured, and lysimeters were used to assess the concentration of sodium in water
- penetrating the soil profile.
- Results The inland penetration of A. maritimus varied between 18 and 44 m from the
- seaward edge of woody terrestrial vegetation (itself <10 mhorizontally from the high tide
- mark). Inland penetration increased from west to east around the bay, following an
- apparent gradient of increased exposure to onshore winds. At the most easterly and
- apparently most exposed site, however, the species penetrated only 18 m, but this site
- differed markedly from the others in its topography, caused by erosion of the dunes, with an
- 8-m cliff at its seaward end. The soils at this site were also unusually clayey and waterlogged.
- Amphipod abundance did not correlate strongly with any of the soil parameters.
- The salt content of rainfall generally declined inland, as did the concentration of lysimeter
- leachate, but the inland declines were not all smooth, and both rainfall and lysimeter
- leachate concentration showed some tendency to increase inland at the most sheltered site.
- Main conclusions Austrotroides maritimus is strongly restricted to the immediate
- coastal zone. The extent of its inland penetration correlates with exposure to onshore
- winds, and circumstantial evidence supports the hypothesis that this may be due to
- differences in the amount of salts deposited." name="eprints.abstract" />

- immediate coastal zone, but the factors controlling their distributions are not well understood.
- This study was planned to correlate the distribution of a coastal terrestrial
- amphipod, Austrotroides maritimus Friend 1987, which is only found within 100 m of
- the high tide mark, with soil characteristics and salt deposition.
- Location South Cape Rivulet Bay on the south coast of Tasmania (146 degrees 47' E, 43 degrees 36' S).
- Methods Abundance of the amphipods was examined at four sites c. 200 m apart that
- varied in their exposure to onshore westerly winds. At each site four replicate transect
- lines were established 3 m apart, with pitfall traps set at 2-m intervals. The lines were at
- right angles to the high water mark and extended beyond the inland limit of A. maritimus.
- Amphipods were trapped at three times of the year, in winter, spring and summer
- (1993-94), and the sodium content, organic content and moisture content of the soil at
- each trap site were measured. The sodium content of rain falling on the transects, was
- also measured, and lysimeters were used to assess the concentration of sodium in water
- penetrating the soil profile.
- Results The inland penetration of A. maritimus varied between 18 and 44 m from the
- seaward edge of woody terrestrial vegetation (itself <10 mhorizontally from the high tide
- mark). Inland penetration increased from west to east around the bay, following an
- apparent gradient of increased exposure to onshore winds. At the most easterly and
- apparently most exposed site, however, the species penetrated only 18 m, but this site
- differed markedly from the others in its topography, caused by erosion of the dunes, with an
- 8-m cliff at its seaward end. The soils at this site were also unusually clayey and waterlogged.
- Amphipod abundance did not correlate strongly with any of the soil parameters.
- The salt content of rainfall generally declined inland, as did the concentration of lysimeter
- leachate, but the inland declines were not all smooth, and both rainfall and lysimeter
- leachate concentration showed some tendency to increase inland at the most sheltered site.
- Main conclusions Austrotroides maritimus is strongly restricted to the immediate
- coastal zone. The extent of its inland penetration correlates with exposure to onshore
- winds, and circumstantial evidence supports the hypothesis that this may be due to
- differences in the amount of salts deposited.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available at www.blackwell-synergy.com</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Amphipods, Talitridae, landhoppers, distribution, salt spray, onshore wind.</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270703.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270700 Ecology and Evolution > 270703 Terrestrial Ecology</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270709.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270700 Ecology and Evolution > 270709 Biogeography</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1484</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">A/Prof Alastair Richardson</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">27 Jul 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1484;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=1484">item control page</a></p>
