The appendix presents ecological data in two sections: information for some of the dominant species; and for selected genera. The abbreviation s.s. refers to sensu stricto (for species that are commonly misidentified). The source of the information is Chapters 4–7 and is based on the main living occurrences. There may be rare living occurrences beyond this range. Dead occurrences are not considered. References are listed only where there is specific information relevant to a species. Even for dominant species, in many cases there is little reliable ecological information. The numbered section headings link to the appropriate chapter.

Species

Marginal marine environments

Agglutinated

1. Ammoastuta inepta: brackish marshes and mangals, Texas, USA, to French Guiana.

2. Ammobaculites balkwilli: restricted to Europe; occasionally on marsh (Cearreta, 1988), mainly low intertidal to subtidal; salinity 15–29 around the Skagerrak–Kattegat (Alve and Murray, 1999).

3. Ammobaculites crassus: infaunal down to at least 9 cm, subtidal in microtidal estuaries.

4. Ammobaculites dilatatus: a minor to subsidiary species on brackish marshes; dominant in mangals in French Guiana.

5. Ammobaculites exiguus: infaunal down to 10 cm on brackish marshes and lagoons, salinity 0–25, temperature 0–27 °C, Massachusetts, USA, to Mexico (Ellison and Murray, 1987).

6. Ammobaculites exilis: infaunal in lagoons, salinity 34, temperature 17–28 °C, North Carolina to Texas, USA (Buzas and Severin, 1982; Ellison and Murray, 1987).

7. Ammodiscus gullmarensis: salinity 20–32, temperature 4–14 °C, on organic-rich muddy sediment, dominant in deeper water close to the permanently anoxic layer, Norway (Alve, 1995a).

8. Ammoscalaria runiana: in Europe, common only in fine to medium sand with <20% mud, and low TOC (0.2–0.7%), salinity 16–18, intertidal–subtidal in estuaries, lagoons and fjords (Alve and Murray, 1999).
