… Photographs taken at low tide by RA Scrosati … Although mussels may cover different
extents of the substrate on different shores (Tam and Scrosati 2011), for consistency we only …

Canopy-forming bioengineer species are commonly assumed to increase local species
richness and diversity. We tested this notion by investigating the effects of fucoid seaweed …

Barnacles are dominant sessile invertebrates on many rocky shores worldwide. Hence,
investigating the factors that affect their recruitment is important. Through field experiments done …

Ocean acidification resulting from the global increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is
emerging as a threat to marine species, including crustaceans. Fisheries involving the …

In rocky intertidal habitats, the pronounced increase in environmental stress from low to high
elevations greatly affects community structure, that is, the combined measure of species …

Beta diversity measures the spatial variation in species composition. Because it influences
several community attributes, studies are increasingly investigating its drivers. Spatial …

… edulis in our samples (Tam & Scrosati 2014), our results do suggest that both species alter
their shell morphology in response to dogwhelk cues. In addition, the potential influence of …

… Mussels (only Mytilus edulis at SS, as indicated by DNA analyses; JC Tam & RA Scrosati

… Heaven, CS and Scrosati, RA 2008. Benthic community composition across gradients of …

Environmental stress affects species richness and diversity in communities, but the precise
form of the relationship is unclear. We tested an environmental stress model (ESM) that …
