• Latin American benthic shellfisheries: emphasis on co-management and experimental practices (2001, background): “Before this work, spatio-temporal patterns of distribution, abundance and dynamics of sandy beach macroinfauna seemed to be fully explained by wave climate, sand particle size, and tide range (McLachlan et al., 1995, 1996; Defeo et al., 2001).”
• Spatial structure, sampling design and abundance estimates in sandy beach macroinfauna: some warnings and new perspectives (2002, background): “Given the poor replication in time, it is impossible to discern whether the lack of significance actually reflects temporal and spatial global patterns or merely situations when the species were particularly abundant or scarce at the beach fringe on the day sampled (James and Fairweather 1996; Defeo”
• The status of sandy beach science: Past trends, progress, and possible futures (2014, background): “The notion that multiple factors limit macrofauna populations gave rise to the the Habitat Harshness Hypothesis (Defeo et al., 2001; Defeo and Martinez, 2003).”
• Macroecology of population dynamics and life history traits of the mole crab Emerita brasiliensis in Atlantic sandy beaches of South America (2002, methodology): “At a given temperature, male mole crabs attained significantly higher growth and lower mortality rates at Arachania (reflective) than at the dissipative Barra del Chuy (see Defeo et al. 2001).”
• Population dynamics and secondary production of the wedge clam Donaxhanleyanus (Bivalvia: Donacidae) on a high-energy, subtropical beach of Brazil (2003, background): “Comparing the burrowing rate index (BRI, sensu Stanley 1970), D. hanleyanus, which has a BRI from 11 to 15 (McLachlan et al. 1995) burrows 15 times slower than E. brasiliensis, with a BRI from 56 to 246 (corrected from Defeo et al. 2001 ) in dissipative beaches.”
• Patterns, processes and regulatory mechanisms in sandy beach macrofauna: a multi-scale analysis (2005, background): “This synchronicity may be an adaptation to reduce the effects of harsh reflective beaches and to increase the probability of copulation with the sparse reproductive females (Defeo et al. 2001).”
• Morphodynamics and habitat safety in sandy beaches: life-history adaptations in a supralittoral amphipod (2005, background): “(3) Recently, Gómez & Defeo (1999) and Defeo et al. (2001, 2003) formulated new additions to the original SEH and AH (both postulated on the community level), to account for predictions on the population level.”
• Coupling between macrofauna community structure and beach type: a deconstructive meta-analysis (2011, background): “The Habitat Harshness Hypothesis postulated that in harsh reflective beaches, organisms must divert more energy towards maintenance, resulting in less energy available for reproduction, with consequent higher mortality (Defeo et al. 2001, Defeo & Martínez 2003).”
