• The guano dimension of seabird predation halos: colony size, foraging range and nutrient redistribution

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser

  Seabirds are globally important marine predators who can deplete prey in the waters surrounding their seasonal breeding colonies. The expanse of these “predation halos” are a function of colony size,…

• Characterization of a large-scale ephemeral bloom of the green alga Cladophora sericea on the coral reefs of West Maui, Hawai’i

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 302:77-91 (2005)

  The filamentous green alga Cladophora sericea G. Hudson (Kutzing) has formed episodic and ephemeral nuisance blooms on West Maui’s coral reefs over the past 2 decades. Despite a paucity of evidence,…

• Phytoplankton and bacterioplankton biomass, production and turnover in a semi-enclosed embayment with spring tide induced upwelling

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 304:91-100 (2005)

  We examined the short time scale (i.e. hours to days) responses of phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria to a spring tide-driven upwelling, which is different from classical wind-driven systems, in…

• Eutrophication of Chesapeake Bay: historical trends and ecological interactions

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 303:1-29 (2005)

  This review provides an integrated synthesis with timelines and evaluations of ecological responses to eutrophication in Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the USA. Analyses of dated sediment…

• Impact of clam and mussel farming on benthic metabolism and nitrogen cycling, with emphasis on nitrate reduction pathways

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 315:151-165 (2006)

  The influences of suspended mussel and infaunal clam cultivation on benthic metabolism and nutrient cycling were compared in Goro lagoon, Italy. Both aquaculture types stimulated benthic metabolism,…

• Impact of phytoplankton and bacterial production on nutrient and DOM uptake in the Rhône River plume (NW Mediterranean)

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 315:43-54 (2006)

  From April 1998 to April 1999, 4 cruises were conducted to investigate the evolution of physical and biological characteristics of the Rhône River plume. Particular emphasis was placed on the…

• Effects of nutrient enrichment and shading on sediment primary production and metabolism in eutrophic estuaries

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 312:29-43 (2006)

  The impact of anthropogenic eutrophication on the productivity and metabolism of estuarine sediments has received relatively little attention. In this study, we investigated the separate and combined…

• 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…

• Intensive fish farming in the Philippines is detrimental to the reef-building coral Pocillopora damicornis

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 316:165-174 (2006)

  To determine the effects of fish farm effluent on the reef-building species Pocillopora damicornis , we exposed different life stages of the coral to a gradient of effluent concentrations. After 81 d…
