Several lines of evidence show that ocean warming off the east coast of Tasmania is the
result of intensification of the East Australian Current (EAC). Increases in the strength …

Kelp forests are phyletically diverse, structurally complex and highly productive components
of coldwater rocky marine coastlines. This paper reviews the conditions in which kelp forests …

Kelp forests (Order Laminariales) form key biogenic habitats in coastal regions of temperate
and Arctic seas worldwide, providing ecosystem services valued in the range of billions of …

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of marine heatwaves. A recent
extreme warming event (2014–2016) of unprecedented magnitude and duration in the …

Sea urchin barrens are benthic communities on rocky subtidal reefs that are dominated by
urchins and coralline algae; in the absence of intense herbivory by urchins, these barrens …

We suggest that relatively few species attributes are of overriding importance to the structure
of benthic marine algal communities and that these are often shared among taxonomically …

The shallow subtidal rocky habitats in most temperate coastal areas are conspicuously
dominated by large brown algae in the orders Laminariales and Fucales. These algae are …

Biological invasions by exotic species clearly alter the composition and community structure
of invaded areas. There is increasing evidence that they can also alter properties of whole …

Multiscale patterns of spatial and temporal variation in density and population structure were
used to evaluate the generality of a three—trophic—level cascade among sea otters …

The seashore has long been the subject of fascination and study-the Ancient Greek scholar
Aristotle made observations and wrote about Mediterranean sea urchins. The considerable …
