TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified trends in species richness and endemism on sandy shores to assess representation of beach ecosystems in existing reserve networks and compared the relative importance of different drivers of species distributions through species distribution modelling.

TL;DR: The main processes driving the spatial and temporal distribution of surf diatoms as well as their standing biomass and growth were described twenty to thirty years ago based on studies conducted on the western coast of the United States of America and South African beaches as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is argued that the low number of seedlings is a consequence of niche conservatism where thicket species have retained germination and seedling establishment requirements associated with their ancestral origins in the warm, wet forests of the early Cenozoic.

TL;DR: The surf diatom, Anaulus australis Drebes et Schulz, exhibited photoinhibition in response to high light despite the fact that the cells which are frequently exposed to full sunlight would be expected to be adapted to photosynthesize optimally under these conditions.
