Ecological subsidies to rocky intertidal communities: Linear or non-linear changes along a consistent geographic upwelling transition?

Krenz, Christopher; Menge, Bruce A.; Freidenburg, Tess L.; Lubchenco, Jane; Chan, Francis; Foley, Melissa M.; Nielsen, Karina J. (Elsevier, 2011-12)

Through bottom–up inputs and larval transport, benthic–pelagic links can have an important effect on benthic community structure. Recent work on community structure of northeast Pacific rocky shores has focused on latitu ...
Mussel selectivity for high-quality food drives carbon inputs into open-coast intertidal ecosystems

Bracken, Matthew E. S.; Menge, Bruce A.; Foley, Melissa M.; Sorte, Cascade J. B.; Lubchenco, Jane; Schiel, David R. (Inter-Research, 2012)

Filter-feeding invertebrates consume phytoplankton and detritus and therefore serve as important mediators of the exchange of materials from nearshore pelagic to intertidal benthic ecosystems. Here, we evaluated the link ...
