Effects of climate change on global seaweed communities
Christopher D. G. Harley,Kathryn Anderson,Kyle W. Demes,Jennifer P. Jorve,Rebecca L. Kordas,Theraesa A. Coyle,Michael H. Graham +6 more
TL;DR: The ways in which changes in the environment directly affect seaweeds in terms of their physiology, growth, reproduction, and survival are described, and the extent to which seaweed species may be able to respond to these changes via adaptation or migration is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consequences of oil spills: a review and framework for informing planning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a summary literature review and overview framework to help communities systematically consider the factors and linkages that would influence consequences of a potential oil spill, focusing on spills from oil tanker accidents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic plasticity reconciles incongruous molecular and morphological taxonomies: the giant kelp, Macrocystis (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae), is a monospecific genus.
TL;DR: An explanation for the extreme phenotypic plasticity that results in morphological variability within Macrocystis is presented, driven by the effects of environmental factors on early development of macroscopic sporophytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sudden collapse of a mesopredator reveals its complementary role in mediating rocky reef regime shifts.
Jenn M. Burt,M. Tim Tinker,Daniel K. Okamoto,Daniel K. Okamoto,Kyle W. Demes,Kyle W. Demes,Keith Holmes,Anne K. Salomon +7 more
TL;DR: This work reveals previously underappreciated species interactions within a ‘classic’ trophic cascade and regime shift, highlighting the critical role of middle-level predators in mediating rocky reef state transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comprehensive kelp phylogeny sheds light on the evolution of an ecosystem
Samuel Starko,Samuel Starko,Marybel Soto Gomez,Hayley Darby,Kyle W. Demes,Hiroshi Kawai,Norishige Yotsukura,Sandra C. Lindstrom,Patrick J. Keeling,Sean W. Graham,Patrick T. Martone,Patrick T. Martone +11 more
TL;DR: This work reconstructs the diversification of habitat-forming kelps using a global genus-level phylogeny inferred primarily from organellar genome datasets, and investigates the timing of kelp radiation, demonstrating that the initial radiation of the latter resulted from an increase in speciation rate around the Eocene-Oligocene boundary.
