Journal ArticleDOI

North Atlantic phylogeography and large‐scale population differentiation of the seagrass Zostera marina L.

TL;DR: The identification of a high genetic diversity hotspot in Northern Europe provides a basis for restoration decisions and links between historical and contemporary processes are discussed in terms of the projected effects of climate change on coastal marine plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Community-wide effects of nonindigenous species on temperate rocky reefs

TL;DR: Interactions among introduced species in New England kelp forests are examined to ask whether these interactions have altered paradigms describing subtidal communities in the Gulf of Maine and to result from one invasive species facilitating the spread of a second nonindigenous species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glacial refugia and recolonization pathways in the brown seaweed Fucus serratus.

TL;DR: A generalized skyline plot suggested exponential population expansion beginning in the mid‐Pleistocene with maximal growth during the Eems interglacial 128 000–67 000 years ago, implying that the last glacial maximum mainly shaped population distributions rather than demography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity mediates top–down control in eelgrass ecosystems: a global comparative‐experimental approach

TL;DR: This work factorially added nutrients and reduced grazing at 15 sites across the range of the marine foundation species eelgrass to quantify how top-down and bottom-up control interact with natural gradients in biodiversity and environmental forcing, and finds that biodiversity is comparably important to global change stressors.
