Complementarity in marine biodiversity manipulations: reconciling divergent evidence from field and mesocosm experimentsJohn J Stachowicz
Department of Evolution and Ecology and Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:18842-7. 2008..Many published experiments, therefore, likely underestimate the strength of diversity on ecosystem processes in natural ecosystems...
Behavioral types of predator and prey jointly determine prey survival: potential implications for the maintenance of within-species behavioral variationJonathan N Pruitt
Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA
Am Nat 179:217-27. 2012..ochraceus. We argue that, even in two-species interactions, trait variation in heterospecifics could be an important factor maintaining trait variation within populations...
Morphological and physiological variation among seagrass (Zostera marina) genotypesA Randall Hughes
Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California, Davis, PO Box 247, Bodega Bay, CA 94923, USA
Oecologia 159:725-33. 2009..Further, they highlight that genotypic variation in key traits of habitat-forming species could have measurable effects on community structure and function...
Invasions and extinctions reshape coastal marine food websJarrett E Byrnes
Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 2:e295. 2007..However, current research suggests that a better understanding of how such simultaneous changes in diversity can impact ecosystem function will be required to manage coastal ecosystems and forecast future changes...
Short and long term consequences of increases in exotic species richness on water filtration by marine invertebratesJarrett Byrnes
Center for Population Biology University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Ecol Lett 12:830-41. 2009..Our results suggest that the consequences of local increases in species richness due to invasions may be manifest over long (annual to interannual) time scales, even when short term changes in ecosystem function are negligible...
Reciprocal relationships and potential feedbacks between biodiversity and disturbanceA Randall Hughes
Evolution and Ecology, University of California Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Ecol Lett 10:849-64. 2007..We close by offering ideas for future research to help fill gaps in our understanding of reciprocal relationships among ecological variables like diversity and disturbance...
Prey diversity is associated with weaker consumer effects in a meta-analysis of benthic marine experimentsKyle F Edwards
Center for Population Biology, University of California Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Ecol Lett 13:194-201. 2010..These results suggest that the effects of species diversity on trophic interactions may scale consistently from small-scale manipulations to cross-community comparisons...
The consequences of consumer diversity loss: different answers from different experimental designsJarrett E Byrnes
Center for Population Biology and Department of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, 1 Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA
Ecology 90:2879-88. 2009....
Seaweed diversity enhances nitrogen uptake via complementary use of nitrate and ammoniumMatthew E S Bracken
Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California at Davis, P O Box 247, Bodega Bay, California 94923, USA
Ecology 87:2397-403. 2006..Further, these results suggest that similar mechanisms (complementary nutrient uptake) may underlie diversity-functioning relationships in both algal and vascular-plant-based systems...
Seaweed richness and herbivory increase rate of community recovery from disturbanceKristin M Aquilino
Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA
Ecology 93:879-90. 2012..These appear to be common features of rocky-shore seaweed, and perhaps other, communities...
Multivariate trade-offs, succession, and phenological differentiation in a guild of colonial invertebratesKyle F Edwards
Center for Population Biology, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA
Ecology 91:3146-52. 2010..We also find that species closer to each other on the fast-slow axis are more likely to differ in reproductive phenology, suggesting a secondary dimension of niche differentiation for otherwise similar species...
Spatially stochastic settlement and the coexistence of benthic marine animalsKyle F Edwards
Center for Population Biology, University of California Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA
Ecology 92:1094-103. 2011..This mechanism may apply broadly to benthic marine communities, which can be highly diverse and typically exhibit large settlement fluctuation over a range of scales...
Genetic diversity enhances the resistance of a seagrass ecosystem to disturbanceA Randall Hughes
Section of Evolution and Ecology, One Shields Avenue, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:8998-9002. 2004..Thus, our results suggest that genetic diversity, like species diversity, may be most important for enhancing the consistency and reliability of ecosystems by providing biological insurance against environmental change...
Tissue type matters: selective herbivory on different life history stages of an isomorphic algaCarol Thornber
Center for Population Biology, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA
Ecology 87:2255-63. 2006..Differential fecundity can contribute to a skew in relative frequencies of phases in the field, and our results suggest that differential grazing by snails may contribute to this pattern and thus play a role in algal population biology...
Whole-community mutualism: associated invertebrates facilitate a dominant habitat-forming seaweedMatthew E S Bracken
Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California at Davis, P O Box 247, Bodega Bay, California 94923, USA
Ecology 88:2211-9. 2007....

Department of Biology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada B3H 4J1
