The complex net effect of reciprocal interactions and recruitment facilitation maintains an intertidal kelp community

Creator:

Barner, Allison K., Hacker, Sally D., Menge, Bruce A., and Nielsen, Karina J.

Abstract:

1. Theoretical and empirical ecology has transitioned from a focus on the role of negative interactions in species coexistence to a more pluralistic view that acknowledges that coexistence in natural communities is more complex, and depends on species interactions that vary in strength, sign, and reciprocity, and such contexts as...

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...
