Kelps are ecologically important primary producers and ecosystem engineers, and play a
central role in structuring nearshore temperate habitats. They play an important role in …

The brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are a group of multicellular heterokonts that are
ubiquitous in today's oceans. Large brown algae from multiple orders are the foundation to …

It has been hypothesized that the high diversity of giant kelp forests is due primarily to the
provision of energy and habitat by the giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera). In this article, I use a …

Fisheries that target fish spawning aggregations can exhibit hyperstability, in which catch
per unit effort (CPUE) remains elevated as stock abundance declines, but empirical support …

Foundation species define the ecosystems they live in, but ecologists have often
characterized dominant plants as foundational without supporting evidence. Giant kelp has …

Distribution of mobile animals may reflect decisions on how to balance conflicting demands
associated with foraging and avoiding predators. A simple optimality model predicts that …

The giant kelp Macrocystis is the world's largest benthic organism and most widely
distributed kelp taxon, serving as the foundation for diverse and energy-rich habitats that are …

Coral Reef Fishes is the successor of The Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs. This new
edition includes provocative reviews covering the major areas of reef fish ecology. Concerns …

The relationship between the variables of reef fish community structure (fish richness, fish
diversity and total number of fishes) and those of habitat complexity (total surface area …

This paper reviews current knowledge of substrate-associated juvenile Sebastes. In general,
juvenile rockfish recruit to shallower depths than those occupied by conspecific adults …
