Consumer and predator foraging behavior can impart profound trait-mediated constraints on community regulation that scale up to influence the structure stability of ecosystems. Here, we demonstrate how behavioral response an apex changes in prey condition dramatically alter role relative contribution top-down forcing, depending spatial organization ecosystem states. In 2014, a rapid dramatic decline abundance mesopredator (
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) have gained attention as a conservation tool for enhancing ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, empirical evidence explicitly linking MPAs enhanced ecological is limited and mixed. To better understand whether can buffer impacts, we tested the resistance recovery of marine communities 2014–2016 Northeast Pacific heatwave in largest scientifically designed MPA network world off coast California, United States.

Ecological communities can be stable over multiple generations, or rapidly shift into structurally and functionally different configurations. In kelp forest ecosystems, overgrazing by sea urchins abruptly forests alternative states that are void of macroalgae primarily dominated actively grazing urchins. Beginning in 2014, a urchin outbreak along the central coast California resulted patchy mosaic remnant interspersed with barrens. this study, we used 14-year subtidal monitoring dataset...
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually rarely evaluated across multiple either in an individual or network. We the 59 MPAs California's large network, which encompasses 4 primary (surf zone, kelp forest, shallow reef, deep reef) bioregions, identified attributes that best explain performance. Using a meta‐analytic...
Flexible resource investment is a risk sensitive reproductive strategy where individuals trade resources spent on reproduction for basic metabolic maintenance and survival. This study examined morphological variation in herbivorous sea urchin grazers across mosaic landscape of macroalgae dominated habitats interspersed with patches barrens to determine whether urchins shift energy allocation response food limitation. Extensive underwater surveys habitat attributes (e.g., density, algae...
Abstract Calls for using marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve goals nature and people are increasing globally. While the conservation fisheries impacts of MPAs have been comparatively well‐studied, on other dimensions human use received less attention. Understanding how humans engage with identifying traits that promote engagement is critical designing MPA networks multiple effectively, equitably minimal environmental impact. In this paper, we characterize in California's network,...
