A cage exclusion experiment was used to examine the interaction between the epibenthos (permanent and visiting) and the macroinfauna of a high intertidal Kenyan <i>Avicennia marina</i> mangrove sediment. Densities of Oligochaeta (families Tubificidae and Enchytraeidae), Amphipoda, Insecta larvae, Polychaeta and macro-Nematoda, and a broad range of environmental factors were followed over 5 mo of caging. A significant increase of amphipod and insect larvae densities in the cages indicated a positive exclusion effect, while no such effect was observed for oligochaetes (Tubificidae in particular), polychaetes or macronematodes. Resource competitive interactions were a plausible explanation for the status of the amphipod community. This was... |

The interactions between macrobenthic in- and epifauna of a mid-intertidal <i>Ceriops tagal</i> (Perr.) Rob. stand were studied in order to test the relative importance of epibenthic predation pressure on and resource competition with the macro-endobenthos. The study is the fourth in a series of papers based on exclusion experiments in two different parts of the mangrove system at Gazi Bay in southern Kenya. The permanent and visiting epibenthos were excluded using cages. Densities of the macrobenthic taxa Oligochaeta (families Tubificidae and Enchytraeidae), Amphipoda (genera <i>Grandidierella</i> and <i>Ampelisca</i>), Insecta larvae (family Dolichopodidae), Polychaeta (families Nereidae and Terebellidae),... |
