Coastal Upwelling Drives Intertidal Assemblage Structure and Trophic Ecology

Similar environmental driving forces can produce similarity among geographically distant ecosystems. Coastal oceanic upwelling, for example, has been associated with elevated biomass and abundance patterns of certain functional groups, e.g., corticated macroalgae. In the upwelling system of Northern Chile, we examined measures of intertidal macrobenthic composition, structure and trophic ecolog...

Plankton trophic structure and particulate organic carbon production during a coastal downwelling-upwelling cycle

We evaluated plankton trophic structure in a short-term temporal survey performed throughout a downwelling–upwelling cycle at the SE Brazilian coast. Size-fractioned phytoplankton biomass (PB), microzooplankton (MiZA) and mesozooplankton (MeZA) abundances along with primary (PP) and bacterial production (BP) were estimated for 5 consecutive days at a fixed station in the Cabo Frio upwelling cor...

Eco-Evolutionary Trophic Dynamics: Loss of Top Predators Drives Trophic Evolution and Ecology of Prey

Ecosystems are being altered on a global scale by the extirpation of top predators. The ecological effects of predator removal have been investigated widely; however, predator removal can also change natural selection acting on prey, resulting in contemporary evolution. Here we tested the role of predator removal on the contemporary evolution of trophic traits in prey. We utilized a historical ...

Biogeographic Relationships of a Rocky Intertidal Fish Assemblage in an Area of Cold Water Upwelling off Baja California, Mexico!

The rocky intertidal fish assemblage at an area of nearshore cold water upwelling at Punta Clara, northern Baja California, Mexico was sampled bimonthly for I yr. Temperatures in this upwelling region typically range from 10° to 16°C throughout the year and are significantly lower than those of surrounding areas in the warm-temperate Californian biogeographic province. The assemblage at Punta C...
