Predicting the ecological causes and consequences of global climate change requires a
variety of approaches, including the use of experiments, models, and surveys. Among …

Globally, coastlines are under pressure as coastal human population growth and
urbanization continues, while climatic change leads to stormier seas and rising tides. These …

Coastal Ecosystem Processes, written by the renowned marine scientist Daniel Alongi,
describes how pelagic and benthic food webs, from beaches and tidal flats to the continental …

Populations of the tropical limpet Cellana grata Gould were studied on exposed shores
around Cape d'Aguilar, Hong Kong. C. grata is a high shore species, the zonation pattern of …

Theoretical work predicts that complex habitats allow more species to co-exist in a given
area. However, more field studies are still needed to clarify this relationship, especially in …

Epilithic biofilms play a key role in marine ecosystems. They also provide a tractable system
to investigate the relative roles of environmental stressors, bottom‐up physicochemical …

Mensurative and manipulative experiments were done to test hypotheses about the effects
of shading on subtidal assemblages of epibiota. Previous studies found large differences in …

An extensive v~ deoscopic study of ah~ gh-temperature sulfide structure on the Juan de
Fuca Rldge (northeast Pacific) examined temporal variation in vent community distnbution …

A soft-shelled non-indigenous clam, Nuttallia obscurata, has invaded coastal soft-sediment
habitats of the northeastern Pacific. In a survey of 35 sites within the San Juan Islands …

Although the direct effects of climate change on species distribution and abundance have
become increasingly apparent, considerably less is known about the potential for thermal …
