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...

Creator:: Hessing-Lewis, Margot L., Hacker, Sally D., Menge, Bruce A., McConville, Sea-oh, and Henderson, Jeremy
Abstract:: Knowledge of nutrient pathways and their resulting ecological interactions can alleviate numerous environmental problems associated with nutrient increases in both natural and managed systems. Although not unique, coastal systems are particularly prone to complex ecological interactions resulting from nutrient inputs from both the land and sea. Nutrient inputs to coastal...

Creator:: Vinueza, Luis R., Menge, Bruce A., Ruiz, Diego, and Palacios, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The impact of herbivores on primary producers in differing oceanographic regimes is a matter of intense ecological interest due to ongoing changes in their abundance, that of their predators, and anthropomorphic alteration of nutrient cycles and climatic patterns. Interactions between productivity and herbivory in marine habitats have been studied on...

Creator:: Gouhier, Tarik C., Guichard, Frederic, and Menge, Bruce A.
Abstract:: The proliferation of efficient fishing practices has promoted the depletion of commercial stocks around the world and caused significant collateral damage to marine habitats. Recent empirical studies have shown that marine reserves can play an important role in reversing these effects. Equilibrium metapopulation models predict that networks of marine reserves...

Creator:: Menge, Bruce A. and Menge, Duncan N. L.
Abstract:: The intermittent upwelling hypothesis (IUH) predicts that the strength of ecological subsidies, organismal growth responses, and species interactions will vary unimodally along a gradient of upwelling from persistent downwelling to persistent upwelling, with maximal levels at an intermediate or ‘‘intermittent’’ state of upwelling. To test this model, we employed the...

Creator:: Kefi, Sonia, Berlow, Eric L., Wieters, Evie A., Navarrete, Sergio A., Petchey, Owen L., Wood, Spencer A., Boit, Alice, Joppa, Lucas N., Lafferty, Kevin D., Williams, Richard J., Martinez, Neo D., Menge, Bruce A., Blanchette, Carol A., Iles, Alison C., and Brose, Ulrich
Abstract:: Organisms eating each other are only one of many types of well documented and important interactions among species. Other such types include habitat modification, predator interference and facilitation. However, ecological network research has been typically limited to either pure food webs or to networks of only a few (<3) interaction...

Creator:: Krenz, Christopher, Menge, Bruce A., Freidenburg, Tess L., Lubchenco, Jane, Chan, Francis, Foley, Melissa M., and Nielsen, Karina J.
Abstract:: Through bottom–up inputs and larval transport, benthic–pelagic links can have an important effect on benthic community structure. Recent work on community structure of northeast Pacific rocky shores has focused on latitudinal differences in recruitment of intertidal invertebrates as a driver of variation in community structure. Recruitment differences are associated with...

Creator:: Bracken, Matthew E. S., Menge, Bruce A., Foley, Melissa M., Sorte, Cascade J. B., Lubchenco, Jane, and Schiel, David R.
Abstract:: Filter-feeding invertebrates consume phytoplankton and detritus and therefore serve as important mediators of the exchange of materials from nearshore pelagic to intertidal benthic ecosystems. Here, we evaluated the linkages between nearshore and intertidal systems on temperate rocky reefs on the coasts of Oregon, USA, and New Zealand’s South Island. We...
