Ecological subsidies to rocky shore communities : setting the stage for community dynamics in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:

Krenz, Christopher

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the importance of pelagic subsidies in the Northeast Pacific to rocky shore community regulation. My results document the patterns of pelagic subsidy supply, determine if those subsidies are correlated with community structure, and examine if community regulation differs between areas of high- and low-subsidies. Understanding how...

Distribution, structure, and function of marine ecological communities in the northern California Current upwelling ecosystem

Creator:

Reese, Douglas Charles

Abstract:

Within systems characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variability, abundances of organisms tend to be higher in localized areas. Within the northern California Current system, the identification of such marine, biological hotspots would be of great importance to resource managers, conservationists, and research planners, and is consequently a growing area...
