• Impacts of simulated overfishing on the territoriality of coral reef damselfish

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 309:255-262 (2006)

  The loss of large fishes from coral reefs can alter the composition of benthic assemblages and increase the abundance of smaller fishes at lower trophic levels. An experimental exclusion of medium and…

  Keywords: Territorial damselfish, Herbivores, Cage experiment, Trophic cascade, Overfishing

  Authors: Ceccarelli DM, Hughes TP, McCook LJ

• Environmental factors modify post-settlement survival and growth of winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus in the absence of predation

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 676:57-75 (2021)

  Post-settlement mortality and growth in flatfish has the potential to profoundly impact year-class strength. However, the abiotic drivers of post-settlement mortality and growth are difficult to…

• Resuspension of postlarval soft-shell clams Mya arenaria through disturbance by the mud snail Ilyanassa obsoleta

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 180:223-232 (1999)

  Transport and mortality of newly settled post larvae potentially have a large influence on the population dynamics and adult distributions of coastal benthic species, including the soft-shell clam Mya…
