Despite the importance of consumers in structuring communities, and the widespread
assumption that consumption is strongest at low latitudes, empirical tests for global scale …

In this review, I summarize recent developments in marine chemical ecology and suggest
additional studies that should be especially productive. Direct tests in both the field and …

Relationships among food choice, compensatory feeding, and the consequences for
consumer fitness rarely have been quantified. We created foods of varying nutritional quality …

“[F] or most of the past 50 My, Caribbean seagrass communities have had to withstand
heavy, sustained grazing pressure from several sympatric lineages of large mammalian …

Large brown seaweeds dominate coastal hard substrata throughout many of the world's
oceans. In coastal North Carolina, USA, this dominance by brown seaweeds is facilitated by …

The ecological interactions of brown algae are important as these macroalgae are common
and often keystone members in many benthic marine communities. This review highlights …

Experimental analyses of causes of patterns of distribution and abundance of intertidal
animals and plants on rocky shores have been a major activity for many years. In this review …

Most general models do not include herbivory as a major agent of successional change.
Potentially, herbivores can affect succession in three ways: accelerating or decelerating the …

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …

Over‐harvesting, habitat loss and exotic invasions have altered predator diversity and
composition in a variety of communities which is predicted to affect other trophic levels and …
