• Predation and physical disturbance by crabs reduce the relative impacts of nutrients in a tidal mudflat

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 313:205-213 (2006)

  We evaluated how links between direct and indirect interactions and physical disturbance shaped trophic dynamics in a soft-sediment benthic estuarine community. We crossed presence of…

• Do resource declines increase predation rates on North Pacific harbor seals? A behavior-based plausibility model

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 312:265-275 (2006)

  Harbor seals Phoca vitulina and other pinnipeds in the Gulf of Alaska have declined since the 1980s. The search for causation has considered top-down and bottom-up influences as independent factors.…

• Grazing on fleshy seaweeds by sea urchins facilitates sponge Cliona viridis growth

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 323:83-89 (2006)

  We studied possible interactions among invertebrate species and algal assemblages in a shallow sublittoral community of the Mediterranean Sea using a 2-step approach. First, we analysed the general…
