Abstract
Macrofaunal dominant population of intertidal haustoriid amphipods at Sapelo Island, Georgia, show little change in zonation accompanying the passage of two hurricanes despite observed changes in beach morphology. Fluctuations in abundance of two species were correlated with life cycle events. Some mortality of amphipods probably occurred where large volumes of freshwater overflowed the sand beach. Protection from surf by nearshore shoals, behavioral factors, and the increase in number of species on protected beaches, are important factors providing checks on violent fluctuation and displacement of haustoriid populations. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A00BY031 00002
