Notes | This article describes marine mites found in the intertidal zone of Schooner Creek. Collection sites were 50 and 75 meters from its junction with the Siletz River. "The coarse-grained, gravelly sand deposits so common in west coast estuaries parallel those of many sheltered open coast temperate zone beaches where intertidal interstitial life often is well developed. Unlike the open beach habitat, estuarine sands have the advantage of protection from wave action during tidal episodes." (p.241) |
