Abstract “[F] or most of the past 50 My, Caribbean seagrass communities have had to
withstand heavy, sustained grazing pressure from several sympatric lineages of large …

Fauna associated with the common kelp along the Norwegian coast, Laminaria hyperborea,
was sampled at four sites covering 1000 km of coastline. Exploitation of the kelp habitat by …

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …

Coral reefs support spectacularly productive and diverse communities in tropical and sub-
tropical waters throughout the world's oceans. Debate continues, however, on the degree to …

In all aquatic environments, available surfaces are rapidly colonized by a variety of
organisms. If these organisms grow on plants they are called epiphytes. Seagrasses provide …

Plant diversity is believed to govern animal community structure, yet few studies have tested
this relationship. We manipulated plant species diversity and composition (2 seagrasses …

The nutritional value of kelp Laminaria hyperborea (Gunn.) Foslie and the importance of
bacterial degradation in making kelp available to consumers were tested by no-choice …

As extreme generalists, cockroaches mix their diet from foods that vary greatly in their
nutrient composition. It might thus be predicted that these insects have evolved robustness …

Running waters contribute substantially to global carbon fluxes through decomposition of
terrestrial plant litter by aquatic microorganisms and detritivores. Diversity of this litter may …

Aim The aim was to evaluate the hypothesis that biotic interactions are more intense in the
tropics using reef fishes (from both functional and taxonomic perspectives), the crucial …
