A review characterizing 25 ecosystem challenges to be addressed by an ecosystem approach to fisheries management in Europe
The impacts of fisheries on ocean resources are no longer considered in isolation but
should account for broader ecosystem effects. However, ongoing ecosystem-wide changes …

Effects of sea urchin disease on coastal marine ecosystems
CJ Feehan, RE Scheibling - Marine Biology, 2014 - Springer
Outbreaks of disease in herbivorous sea urchins have led to ecosystem phase shifts from
