The descriptive ecology of the Solomon Islands shores will be dealt with in a series of Reports from the marine party of the 1965 B.S.I.P. Expedition of the Royal Society, now in preparation. This paper is a preliminary attempt to sketch out a biological classification of the shores of those Islands, and to set up some form of descriptive methodology in the light of the special character of the shores observed, in relation to existing zoning systems. It must be followed by extended Reports on the adaptive ecology and the distribution of life forms in particular habitats |
