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

Creator:

Krenz, Christopher, Menge, Bruce A., Freidenburg, Tess L., Lubchenco, Jane, Chan, Francis, Foley, Melissa M., and Nielsen, Karina J.

Abstract:

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 latitudinal differences in recruitment of intertidal invertebrates as a driver of variation in community structure. Recruitment differences are associated with...

Are meta-ecosystems organized hierarchically? A model and test in rocky intertidal habitats

Creator:

Menge, Bruce A., Gouhier, Tarik C., Hacker, Sally D., Chan, Francis, and Nielsen, Karina J.

Abstract:

Ecosystems are shaped by processes occurring and interacting over multiple temporal and spatial scales. Theory suggests such complexity can be simplified by focusing on processes sharing the same scale as the pattern of interest. This scale-dependent approach to studying communities has been challenged by multiscale meta-ecosystem theory, which recognizes that...
