Journal ArticleDOI
Parasites alter community structure
Chelsea L. Wood,James E. Byers,Kathryn L. Cottingham,Irit Altman,Megan J. Donahue,April M. H. Blakeslee +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that, through trait-mediated indirect effects, parasites may be a common determinant of structure in ecological communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls of spatial variation in the prevalence of trematode parasites infecting a marine snail
TL;DR: Trematode prevalence appears to be predominantly determined by local site characteristics favoring high gull abundance, and formal analyses detected no regional spatial gradients in either trematode prevalence or independent environmental variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hitchhiker’s guide to the Maritimes: anthropogenic transport facilitates long‐distance dispersal of an invasive marine crab to Newfoundland
April M. H. Blakeslee,Cynthia H. McKenzie,John A. Darling,James E. Byers,James M. Pringle,Joe Roman +5 more
TL;DR: The aim is to determine timing, source and vector for the recent introduction of the European green crab to Newfoundland using multiple lines of evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric dispersal allows an upstream region to control population structure throughout a species’ range
TL;DR: This quantification of an evolving genetic boundary in a coastal system demonstrates that novel genetic alleles or haplotypes that arise or are introduced into upstream retention zones (regions whose export of larvae is not balanced by import from elsewhere) will increase in frequency in the entire system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical invasions of the intertidal zone of Atlantic North America associated with distinctive patterns of trade and emigration
Susan H. Brawley,James A. Coyer,April M. H. Blakeslee,Galice Hoarau,Ladd E. Johnson,James E. Byers,Wytze T. Stam,Jeanine L. Olsen +7 more
TL;DR: The results contribute to a broader understanding of marine communities, because these 2 conspicuous species are likely to be the tip of an “invasion iceberg” to the NW Atlantic from Great Britain and Ireland in the 19th Century.
