Feeding and growth of the isopod Idotea baltica on the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus: Roles of inter-population and within-plant variation in plant quality

TL;DR: It is suggested that within-plant variation in the quality of the F. vesiculosus is more important for herbivores than possible environmental variation caused by eutrophication, and the variation in quality of F.vesicULosus beds vary in quality and led to differences in total amount of food ingested and production efficiency of I. baltica.

Consumer versus resource control in rocky shore food webs : Baltic Sea and Northwest Atlantic Ocean

Boris Worm
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of changes in consumer abundance and nutrient resources on benthic community structure, species diversity and ecosystem functioning were analyzed through in situ nutrient enrichment and caging experiments and large-scale field surveys in the Baltic Sea and the NW Atlantic Ocean, which used as model systems for nutrient-rich and nutrient-poor ecosystems, respectively.

Photosynthetic responses of an intertidal alga to emersion: The interplay of intertidal height and meteorological conditions

TL;DR: Evaporation rates were much greater at the two highest levels and during windy conditions, suggesting that desiccation is a major stressor during emersion and is partly responsible for the smaller size and lower density of algae at theTwo highest levels.

Reproduction and reproductive isolation in Fucus radicans (Phaeophyceae)

TL;DR: It is found that Swedish F. radicans has an asexual reproductive strategy while Estonian F. vesiculosus has sexual reproductive strategies, which indicates that strong reproductive barriers are expected to be in place to prevent introgression.
