Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

Creator:

Kavanaugh, Maria T.

Abstract:

Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...

Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:

Sanford, Eric (Eric David)

Abstract:

The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...

Patterns and dynamics of context-dependency in the marine rocky intertidal

Creator:

Berlow, Eric Layani

Abstract:

As ecologists are being called upon to predict the consequences of human perturbations to natural communities, an important goal is to understand what factors drive variability or consistency in nature. In the rocky intertidal of San Juan Island, Washington, a comparative experimental approach was used to investigate spatial and temporal...
