These surveys provide an example of long-term changes in a species considered as ''opportunistic'' and as a ''biological indicator'' of disturbance. A summed cumulated function was used to compare the changes of the Abra alba populations and of mean air temperature in each area. The graph of this function shows the timing and duration of changes. Four or five main periods were identified at each site, with a succession of periods of abundance, stability, and decrease. The abundance periods were separated by ten years in... |
