Prevalent lebensspuren on a modern macrotidal flat, Inchon, Korea: ethological and environmental significance

Abstract

The low-energy macrotidal regime results in diverse associations of lebensspuren across an intertidal expanse c4 km wide. Although all ichnofaunas are referable to the archetypical Cruziana ichnocoenose, 3 different associations of traces and tracemakers are discernible: Brachyuran coenose, Molluscan coenose and Holothurian coenose. -from Authors
