The science of European marine reserves: Status, efficacy, and future needs

Creator:

Fenberg, Phillip B., Caselle, Jennifer E., Claudet, Joachim, Clemence, Michaela, Gaines, Steven D., Garcia-Charton, Jose Antonio, Goncalves, Emanuel J., Grorud-Colvert, Kirsten, Guidetti, Paolo, Jenkins, Stuart R., Jones, Peter J. S., Lester, Sarah E., McAllen, Rob, Moland, Even, Planes, Serge, and Sorensen, Thomas K.

Abstract:

The ecologically and socio-economically important marine ecosystems of Europe are facing severe threats from a variety of human impacts. To mitigate and potentially reverse some of these impacts, the European Union (EU) has mandated the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) in order to achieve Good Environmental Status...

Grazer-resource Behavior, Interactions, and Feedbacks Control Kelp-forest Dynamics and Stability

Creator:

Randell, Zachary H.

Abstract:

How the direct and indirect effects of species interactions cascade to affect community structure, functioning, and stability is a fundamental question in ecology. In temperate kelp forests, species interactions, in conjunction with environmental processes, produce rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Arguably the most dramatic of these are abrupt shifts in community state,...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:

Devan-Song, E. Anne

Abstract:

Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...
