Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in reef fish and invertebrate communities with level of protection from fishing across the Eastern Tropical Pacific seascape
Graham J. Edgar,Graham J. Edgar,Graham J. Edgar,Stuart Banks,Sandra Bessudo,Jorge Cortés,Hector M. Guzman,Scott Henderson,Camilo Martinez,Fernando Rivera,German Soler,Diego Ruiz,Fernando A. Zapata +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify general differences in reef community structure between well enforced and poorly enforced marine protected areas (MPAs) and fished sites across the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) regional seascape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oceanographic and climatic variation drive top-down/bottom-up coupling in the Galapagos intertidal meta-ecosystem
Luis Vinueza,Luis Vinueza,Bruce A. Menge,Diego Ruiz,Diego Ruiz,Daniel M. Palacios,Daniel M. Palacios +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that, when a broader oceanographic scenario is taken into account, the relative importance of top-down and bottom-up forces are context dependent, varying with oceanographic regime and climatic variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
El Niño induced changes to the Bolivar Channel ecosystem (Galapagos): comparing model simulations with historical biomass time series
TL;DR: In this paper, a trophic reference model of the Bolivar Channel ecosystem was forced by a 16 yr (1994 to 2009) satellite-derived time series of phyto- plankton biomass including the El Nino period 1997/98.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Bolivar Channel Ecosystem of the Galapagos Marine Reserve: Energy flow structure and role of keystone groups
TL;DR: The Bolivar Channel Ecosystem is characterized by a heterogeneous rocky reef habitat covered by dense algae beds and inhabited by numerous invertebrate and fish species, which represent the food for higher predators including seals and sharks and exploited fish species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidating fishing effects in a large-predator dominated system: The case of Darwin and Wolf Islands (Galápagos)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a trophic steady-state model that connects benthic and pelagic communities to assess the potential effects of a change in fishing intensity in the two islands system.
