Rocky intertidal oceanography: an association between community structure and nearshore phytoplankton concentration

Creator:

Menge, Bruce A., Daley, Bryon A., Wheeler, Patricia A., and Strub, P. Ted

Abstract:

On Oregon coastal rocky shores, filter‐feeders were relatively abundant and macrophytes were relatively scarce at Strawberry Hill, whereas opposite abundance patterns occurred at Boiler Bay. To determine whether nearshore oceanographic differences were associated with these patterns, we made shore‐based measurements of nutrient and Chl a concentrations. We used a three‐level...

Benthic-Pelagic Links and Rocky Intertidal Communities: Bottom-Up Effects on Top-Down Control?

Creator:

Menge, Bruce A., Daley, Bryon A., Wheeler, Patricia A., Dahlhoff, Elizabeth, Sanford, Eric, and Strub, P. Ted

Abstract:

Insight into the dependence of benthic communities on biological and physical processes in nearshore pelagic environments, long considered a ``black box,'' has eluded ecologists. In rocky intertidal communities at Oregon coastal sites 80 km apart, differences in abundance of sessile invertebrates, herbivores, carnivores, and macrophytes in the low zone were...
