| Abstract |
Disturbance, whether physically or biologically produced, has attracted much ecologic attention, both in the terrestrial (e.g., Bormann and Likens, 1979; Rome, 1982; Runkle, 1982) and marine realms (e.g., Ayling, 1981; Cowen et al., 1982; Knowlton et al., 1981; Littler et al., 1983; Menge and Lubchenco, 1981; Palumbi et al., 1982; Porter et al., 1981, 1982; Seapy and Littler, 1982; Shepherd, 1983; Smedes and Hurd, 1981; Suchanek, 1981; Taylor and Littler, 1982; Thistle, 1980, 1981; Woodley et al., 1981 Zajac and Whitlach, 1982). A particular focus has been biological disturbance of unconsolidated marine sediments (reviewed by Carney, 1981; Gray, 1974; Lee and Swartz, 1980; Rhoads, 1974; Rhoads and Boyer, 1982). Such disturbance is of unusual importance to paleontology because, unlike most ecological processes, it leaves a preservable record. |
