A community approach to understanding patterns and processes on rocky subtidal reefs in the Salish Sea
Smith, DerekThe structuring of marine benthic communities is driven by a diverse set of ecological factors, each exerting its influence to differing degrees across all spatial and temporal scales. Here we’ve leveraged a decade of ... -
Benthic subtidal assemblages and ecological processes in urbanized seascapes of Puget Sound, Washington, USA
Heery, Eliza C.Urbanization is a major process altering nearshore habitats in many parts of the world. One important aspect of urbanization in marine settings is the proliferation of artificial structures, such as seawalls, breakwaters, ... -
Biology and Ecology of Hexacorallians in the San Juan Archipelago
Wells, Christopher DavidHexacorallians are one of the most conspicuous and dominant suspension feeders in temperate and tropical environments. While temperate hexacorallians are particularly diverse in the northeast Pacific, little work has been ... -
Diversity and structure of subtidal rock walls in the Salish Sea: the roles of grazing, oceanography, and long-term change
Elahi, Robin (2013-04-17)The assembly and structure of communities is dictated by a number of ecological processes at a variety of spatial scales. Here I present an `ecology of places', to emphasize the need for both intensive, small-scale ... -
Effects of fish predation on benthic communities in the San Juan Archipelago
Turner, Kevin RichardPredation is a strong driver of community assembly, particularly in marine systems. Rockfish and other large fishes are the dominant predators in the rocky subtidal habitats of the San Juan Archipelago in NW Washington ...
