Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...

Benthic–pelagic coupling and bottom‐up forcing in rocky intertidal communities along the Atlantic Canadian coast

Ecosphere, 2018
Benthic species from rocky intertidal systems are irregularly distributed along marine coastlines. Nearshore pelagic conditions often help to explain such variation, but most such studies have been done on eastern ocean boundary coasts.

Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Recolonization of Intertidal Mussels in Nova Scotia (Canada) after Their Mass Disappearance Following the Severe 2023 Winter Cold Snap

Diversity
In February 2023, a severe cold snap took place in Atlantic Canada and was followed by the mass loss of mussels at mid-to-high intertidal elevations on the southeastern Nova Scotia coast.

Top‐down pressure on a coastal ecosystem by harbor seals

Ecosphere, 2019
Historic hunting has led to severe reductions of many marine mammal species across the globe. After hunting ceased, some populations have recovered to pre‐exploitation levels and may have regained their prominent position as top predator in marine ...

Marine trophic architecture and hidden ecological connections in the Strait of Magellan: keystone species and ecosystem resilience

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...

From Space to the Rocky Intertidal: Using NASA MODIS Sea Surface Temperature and NOAA Water Temperature to Predict Intertidal Logger Temperature

Remote Sensing, 2017
The development of satellite-derived datasets has greatly facilitated large-scale ecological studies, as in situ observations are spatially sparse and expensive undertakings.

The Low Water Mark for Beach Access: Defending Government Protection of Intertidal Recreation as a Lawful Exercise of State Power [PDF]

, 2019
Beaches are a natural resource ideally suited for public recreation. The public generally has a right to access this intertidal land, but the purpose and scope of public access vary greatly between states.

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community

Oikos, EarlyView.
To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...
