The study related the density of herbivores to the length and density of Prionitis spp. in Oregon’s coastal tidepools. Oregon’s coastal rocky intertidal tidepools contain a variety of species interactions, including algal grazing by herbivores. The red branched algae Prionitis spp. is found throughout the rocky intertidal in the low...
This paper is aimed at determining the impact of the variability of marine environment conditions on the
capture of a vessel that exploit the red seabream fishery of the Strait of Gibraltar. This paper estimates
first and second order elasticities of a Translog approximation of a Stochastic Distance Functions of...
Careful analysis and thoughtful synthesis will be necessary for expanding the envelope of
ecological understanding. This work is my attempt at communicating both of these, in relation
to three questions about our understanding of the structure and dynamics of biological diversity.
These questions focus on a) advancing our understanding of...
An impounded estuary was employed to study primary productivity, community respiration, and community structure as they
related to seasonal and temporal succession, salinity, and water
temperature. Plankton metabolism was studied by means of the
light-and dark-bottle technique. Benthic community metabolism
was determined by using the "diurnal oxygen curve" method.
Four...
