TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of 187 time series from primary production to commercial fisheries and nearshore intertidal to offshore oceanic domains demonstrating abrupt changes across trophic levels, with many responses persisting up to at least 5 years after the onset of the marine heatwave.
Journal ArticleDOI
Keystone predators govern the pathway and pace of climate impacts in a subarctic marine ecosystem.

TL;DR: It is shown that massive calcareous reefs, built slowly by the alga Clathromorphum nereostratum over centuries to millennia, are now declining because of the emerging interplay between these two processes, and the effects caused by the absence of this predator can be further exacerbated by climate warming.

Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in rocky intertidal community structure during a marine heatwave in the northern Gulf of Alaska
Benjamin P. Weitzman,Benjamin P. Weitzman,Brenda Konar,Katrin Iken,Heather A. Coletti,Daniel H. Monson,Robert M. Suryan,Thomas A. Dean,Dominic Hondolero,Mandy R. Lindeberg +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined sessile community structure at 21 rocky intertidal sites, part of the Gulf Watch Alaska long-term monitoring program, across four regions spanning 1200 km of coastline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wasting disease and static environmental variables drive sea star assemblages in the Northern Gulf of Alaska
Brenda Konar,Timothy James Mitchell,Katrin Iken,Heather A. Coletti,Thomas A. Dean,Daniel Esler,Mandy R. Lindeberg,Benjamin Pister,Benjamin P. Weitzman,Benjamin P. Weitzman +9 more
TL;DR: Examination of spatial and temporal patterns in sea star assemblages across regions in the northern Gulf of Alaska found there was a shift in the environmental variables that correlated with sea star structure, resulting in seaStar assemblage structure being highly correlated with slope, fetch, and tidal range.
