Advancing marine reserve science : from field experiments to marine conservation planning tools

Creator:

Leslie, Heather M.

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...

Bottom-up and top-down forces in tidepools : the influence of nutrients, herbivores, and wave exposure on community structure

Creator:

Nielsen, Karina Johanna

Abstract:

The relationship between nutrients and community structure is poorly understood in open-coast habitats. I created a system of artificial tidepools, of identical age and physical dimensions, at two sites that differed in wave exposure, and manipulated nutrient levels and the abundance of herbivores. Using these unique field mesocosms, I explored...
