For estuaries in the Western and Eastern Cape provinces, most habitats have been lost due to urban development, whereas in subtropical areas (northern Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal), cultivation has removed estuarine habitat. Although delineation of boundaries can be complicated by landcover changes,...

The upper part of their beak has a downward hook used to catch fish. HABITAT AND BEHAVIOR Pelicans typically live in freshwater, estuarine, and marine wetlands and waterways, which include lakes,swamps, rivers, coastal islands, and shores. ...
The thin, threadlike, newly hatched larva has a shape characteristic of nearly all clupeiform fishes, but its behaviour varies greatly, depending on the habitat. In marine species such as the Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), the larvae, shortly after hatching, tend to be concentrated near ...

23%of global coastal regions between−39∘and48∘latitude could be suitable for nesting, while only7%is currently used by turtles, showing that the realized niche is significantly smaller than the fundamental niche, and that there is potential for sea turtles to expand their nesting habitat....

Therefore, the type of habitat utilised and its associated predation risk might make an important contribution to the relationship between life-span and body size, as has been highlighted for temperate go- bies (Miller 1984) and suggested for tropical gobies (Munday & Jones 1998). We ...
