Seaweeds are ecologically important primary producers, competitors, and ecosystem
engineers that play a central role in coastal habitats ranging from kelp forests to coral reefs …

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 …

The potential for complex synergistic or antagonistic interactions between multiple stressors
presents one of the largest uncertainties when predicting ecological change but, despite …

This study was designed to test for synergism (increased stress) or antagonism (decreased
stress) among multiple environmental stressors using additive, multiplicative, and simple …

We consider the role that key structural traits, such as spinescence, pubescence,
sclerophylly and raphides, play in protecting plants from herbivore attack. Despite the …

As the second largest carbon (C) flux between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems,
soil respiration (Rs) plays vital roles in regulating atmospheric CO 2 concentration ([CO2]) …

On coral reefs, herbivorous fishes consume benthic primary producers and regulate
competition between fleshy algae and reef-building corals. Many of these species are also …

Prey traits linking consumer diversity to ecosystem function remain poorly understood. On
tropical coral reefs, herbivores promote coral dominance by suppressing competing …

The biosphere's great carbonate deposits, from caliche soils to deep-sea carbonate oozes,
precipitate largely as by-products of autotrophic nutrient acquisition physiologies. Protons …

Seaweed and seagrass communities in the northeast Atlantic have been profoundly
impacted by humans, and the rate of change is accelerating rapidly due to runaway CO 2 …
