TL;DR: In this paper, a synthese des articles portant sur la reponse du benthos a la pollution des mers parait indiquer that les communautes constituees de l'endofaune macroscopique and de la meiofaune ont des profils repetables de reponse a the contamination des sediments which sont generalement observables a des niveaux taxonomiques eleves (meme a celui du phylum).
Journal ArticleDOI
Does a Rigorous Criterion for Environmental Identity Preclude the Existence of Multiple Stable Points
TL;DR: It is argued that a strict criterion for environmental identity may preclude the possible existence of multiple stable points for inappropriate reasons and to add some further data to those that were published previously which illustrate the possibility of multiplestable points under differing sets of biotically induced physical conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting beach filling as an unaffordable experiment: Benthic intertidal impacts propagating upwards to shorebirds
TL;DR: Despite likely adaptations to natural sediment dynamics, the high intensity of sediment deposition, cumulative spatial scope, and unnaturally coarse shelly character of the Bogue Banks beach nourishment resulted in a perturbation that exceeded biotic resistance and degraded the trophic transfer function of this highly productive habitat for at least one warm season.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emmett Duffy,Sally D. Hacker,Karen L. McLeod,Stephen R. Palumbi,Charles H. Peterson,Helen M. Regan,Mary Ruckelshaus,Paul A. Sandifer,Robert S. Steneck +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify ecological principles for MSP based on a synthesis of previously suggested and/or operationalized principles, along with recommendations generated by a group of twenty ecologists and marine scientists with diverse backgrounds and perspectives on MSP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Living shorelines can enhance the nursery role of threatened estuarine habitats
Rachel K. Gittman,Charles H. Peterson,Carolyn A. Currin,F. Joel Fodrie,Michael F. Piehler,John F. Bruno +5 more
TL;DR: Living shorelines can enhance some ecosystem services provided by marshes, such as provision of nursery habitat, and were detected on shores with sills three or more years after construction, but not before.
