Journal ArticleDOI
A cross-ecosystem comparison of the strength of trophic cascades
Jonathan B. Shurin,Elizabeth T. Borer,Eric W. Seabloom,Kurt E. Anderson,Carol A. Blanchette,Bernardo R. Broitman,Scott D. Cooper,Benjamin S. Halpern +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of herbivore and plant communities to predator manipulations in 102 field experiments in six different ecosystems: lentic ( lake and pond), marine, and stream benthos, lentic and marine plankton, and terrestrial (grasslands and agricultural fields).
Journal ArticleDOI
What determines the strength of a trophic cascade
Elizabeth T. Borer,Eric W. Seabloom,Jonathan B. Shurin,Kurt E. Anderson,Carol A. Blanchette,Bernardo R. Broitman,Scott D. Cooper,Benjamin S. Halpern +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that high system productivity and low species diversity do not consistently generate larger trophic cascades, and the strongest cascades occurred in association with invertebrate herbivores and endothermic vertebrate predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mosaic patterns of thermal stress in the rocky intertidal zone: implications for climate change
Brian Helmuth,Bernardo R. Broitman,Carol A. Blanchette,Sarah E. Gilman,Patricia M. Halpin,Christopher D. G. Harley,Michael J. O’Donnell,Gretchen E. Hofmann,Bruce A. Menge,Denise Strickland +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified spatial and temporal patterns in the body temperature of an ecologically important species of intertidal invertebrate, the mussel Mytilus californianus, along the majority of its latitudinal range from Washington to southern California, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic variation of southeastern Pacific intertidal communities
TL;DR: It is suggested that oceanography may be largely involved in the geographic variability detected in patterns of community structure, as well as the influence of mesoscale oceanographic features through satellite image analyses, by classifying the study sites as either strongly or weakly influenced by coastal upwelling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scales of benthic–pelagic coupling and the intensity of species interactions: From recruitment limitation to top-down control
TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of variation in wind-driven upwelling on community regulation along 900 km of coastline of the southeastern Pacific finds that geographically discontinuous oceanographic regimes set bounds to the strength of species interactions and define distinct regions for the design and implementation of sustainable management and conservation policies.
