The nature and strength of biotic interactions change along stress gradients, but the importance these across estuarine gradients is under studied. Here, we examined how consumption varies salinity by deploying standardized baits (‘squidpops’) to measure pressure five estuaries in Oregon, USA. relationship between was nonlinear: peaked slightly at mid decreased low salinity, especially as temperature increased, This finding does not support either two existing models for including Consumer...
Abstract Estuaries represent steep stress gradients for aquatic organisms, with abiotic due to temperature and salinity typically increasing distance into estuary. Invertebrate communities their predators are strongly influenced by these gradients. The environmental model predicts that the importance of predation in structuring decreases stress. contain a gradient marine organisms this includes salinity, temperature, other properties. Additionally, estuaries hotspots biological invasions;...
