Grazer Functional Roles, Induced Defenses, and Indirect Interactions: Implications for Eelgrass Restoration in San Francisco Bay
Understanding the individual and interactive roles of consumer species is more than academic when the host plant is a subject of intense conservation interest. In a mesocosm experiment, we compared effects of common invertebrate grazers in San Francisco Bay seagrass (Zostera marina, eelgrass) beds, finding that some species (a native opisthobranch, Phyllaplysia taylori; a native isopod, Idotea ...
متن کاملA non-native amphipod consumes eelgrass inflorescences in San Francisco Bay
Intense herbivory can alter habitat characteristics, and grazing on reproductive structures can reduce plant fitness and long-term population stability. Herbivory on seagrasses is often limited to epiphytes; however, direct grazing has been observed recently in several systems. In San Francisco Bay, California, we documented extensive damage to leaves and especially inflorescences of eelgrass Z...
متن کاملSan Francisco Bay Joint Venture
Smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), a tall grass native to the east coast, has invaded Willapa Bay, Washington, and the San Francisco Bay, California. Management with glyphosate and imazapyr can be effective, but in the San Francisco populations, applications in several sites are confined to short periods in the fall in order to protect nesting habitats of Clapper rails (Rallus longirostr...
متن کاملSpatial patterns of epifaunal communities in San Francisco Bay eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds
Seagrass beds play a vital role in estuarine systems worldwide by providing substrate, food, refuge from predation, and nursery habitat for a diverse assemblage of associated organisms (Williams & Heck 2001). Mesograzers, mobile epifaunal invertebrates, are important components of seagrass communities, serving as a link in the food chain from primary producers to higher-order consumers (Kikuchi...
متن کاملPopulation structure and genetic diversity among eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds and depths in San Francisco Bay.
The seagrass Zostera marina is widely distributed in coastal regions throughout much of the northern hemisphere, forms the foundation of an important ecological habitat, and is suffering population declines. Studies in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans indicate that the degree of population genetic differentiation is location dependent. San Francisco Bay, California, USA, is a high-current, high-...
