The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Behavioural Adaptation to
Intertidal Life" held in Castiglioncello, Italy (May, 1987) was
attended by 50 participants, most of whom presented requested
lectures. It was perhaps the first time that specialists of various
animal groups, from cnidarians to birds, were able to meet and
discuss the importance of behavioural adaptation to this peculiar,
sometimes very harsh environment. But the taxonomic barrier is not
the only one which the meeting attemped to over come. Lately, the
research on intertidal biology has spread from pure taxonomy and
static analysis of community structure to such dynamic aspects as
intra- and interspecific relationships, and physiological
mechanisms aimed at avoiding stress and exploitation of
limited-resources. This increasing interest stems not only from an
inclination for this particular ecological system and some of its
typical inhabitants, but also from the realization that rocky and
sandy shore communities are suitable models for testing and
improving some global theories of evolutionary biology, behavioural
ecology and sociobiology. The number of eco-physiological and
eco-ethological problems emerging from the study of intertidal
animals is fascinatingly large and a complete understanding of this
environment cannot be reached using a strictly "reductionistic" or
a pure "holistic" approach."
