Tracking the Changes: An Exploration of Ecological Succession in Rocky Intertidal Communities

Creator:: Anderson, Roy K., Bachhuber, Silke M., Poirson, Brittany N., and Menge, Bruce A.
Abstract:: The rocky shores of the US West Coast are home to diverse ecological communities made up of species that are uniquely adapted for survival at the harsh boundary between land and sea. Even so, physical or environmental stressors regularly kill swaths of animals on the rocks. This is called disturbance....

Planning for Change: Assessing the Potential Role of Marine Protected Areas and Fisheries Management Approaches for Resilience Management in a Changing Ocean

Creator:: Kroeker, Kristy J., Carr, Mark H., Raimondi, Peter T., Caselle, Jennifer E., Washburn, Libe, Palumbi, Stephen R., Barth, John A., Chan, Francis, Menge, Bruce A., Milligan, Kristen, Novak, Mark, and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: Despite progressive policies and continued advances in ocean management, numerous shifts associated with global changes have been observed in marine ecosystems in recent years, including warming, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. As global change accelerates, science is needed to inform evidence-based management strategies for continued ecosystem services. Resilience management, in which...

Connecting Science to Policymakers, Managers, and Citizens

Creator:: Lubchenco, Jane, Menge, Bruce A., Barth, John A., Carr, Mark H., Caselle, Jennifer E., Chan, Francis, Fulton-Bennett, Heather K., Gaines, Steven D., Kroeker, Kristy J., Milligan, Kristen, Palumbi, Steven R., and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: Twenty years ago, the creation of a new scientific program, the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO), funded by the Packard Foundation, provided the opportunity to integrate—from the outset—research, monitoring, and outreach to the public, policymakers, and managers. PISCO’s outreach efforts were initially focused primarily on sharing scientific...

Community Responses to Climate-Related Variability and Disease: The Critical Importance of Long-Term Research

Creator:: Menge, Bruce A., Caselle, Jennifer E., Barth, John A., Blanchette, Carol A., Carr, Mark H., Chan, Francis, Gravem, Sarah, Gouhier, Tarik C., Lubchenco, Jane, McManus, Margaret A., Milligan, Kristen, Novak, Mark, Raimondi, Peter T., Washburn, Libe, and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: A major goal of the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) has been to understand the impacts of climate change and variability on the coastal ecosystems of the inner shelf of the California Current Large Marine System in particular, and other marine and even nonmarine systems more generally....

The Dynamics and Impact of Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia: Insights from Sustained Investigations in the Northern California Current Large Marine Ecosystem

Creator:: Chan, Francis, Barth, John A., Kroeker, Kristy J., Lubchenco, Jane, and Menge, Bruce A.
Abstract:: Coastal upwelling ecosystems around the world are defined by wind-generated currents that bring deep, nutrient-rich waters to the surface ocean where they fuel exceptionally productive food webs. These ecosystems are also now understood to share a common vulnerability to ocean acidification and hypoxia (OAH). In the California Current Large Marine...

Macrophyte wrack on sandy beaches of the US Pacific Northwest is linked to proximity of source habitat, ocean upwelling, and beach morphology

Creator:: Reimer, Jessica N., Hacker, Sally D., Menge, Bruce A., and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Marine macrophyte wrack (macroalgae and seagrasses) frequently washes onto beaches but little is known about the factors controlling its biogeographic variability. We report on a large-scale study of macrophyte wrack deposition patterns on the US Pacific Northwest coast. We measured macrophyte wrack on 12 sandy beach sites from southern Washington...

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...

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...

Sea Star Wasting Disease in the Keystone Predator Pisaster ochraceus in Oregon: Insights into Differential Population Impacts, Recovery, Predation Rate, and Temperature Effects from Long-Term Research

Creator:: Menge, Bruce A., Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B., Johnson, Angela, Sullivan, Jenna, Gravem, Sarah, and Chan, Francis
Abstract:: Sea star wasting disease (SSWD) first appeared in Oregon in April 2014, and by June had spread to most of the coast. Although delayed compared to areas to the north and south, SSWD was initially most intense in north and central Oregon and spread southward. Up to 90% of individuals...

Are large macroalgal blooms necessarily bad? nutrient impacts on seagrass in upwelling-influenced estuaries

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...
