Abstract
COVER PHOTO: Tide pools at Corona del Mar State Beach, California, USA, are pictured on the cover. Declines in biodiversity in marine systems are occurring at unprecedented rates and it is essential to evaluate the complexities of the resulting transformations on ecosystems. Bracken et al. used tide pools on the southern California shoreline to experimentally manipulate grazer abundance and quantify mechanisms by which molluscan grazers promote algal abundance. Their results (Article e4439; doi: 10.1002/ecy.4439) suggest that mollusks in the pools enhance the abundance of the algae they consume by recycling nutrients and creating sticky slime trails that promote algal recruitment.

封面照片：封面图片为美国加利福尼亚州科罗娜德尔马州立海滩的潮池。海洋系统中生物多样性的减少正以前所未有的速度发生，因此必须评估由此造成的生态系统变化的复杂性。Bracken 等人利用南加州海岸线上的潮池，通过实验操纵食草动物的丰度，并量化软体动物食草动物促进藻类丰度的机制。他们的研究结果（文章 e4439；doi: 10.1002/ecy.4439）表明，潮池中的软体动物通过回收营养物质和创造粘性粘液轨迹促进藻类繁殖，从而提高了它们所消耗的藻类的丰度。图片来源：Matthew E. S. Bracken。
期刊介绍：
Ecology publishes articles that report on the basic elements of ecological research. Emphasis is placed on concise, clear articles documenting important ecological phenomena. The journal publishes a broad array of research that includes a rapidly expanding envelope of subject matter, techniques, approaches, and concepts: paleoecology through present-day phenomena; evolutionary, population, physiological, community, and ecosystem ecology, as well as biogeochemistry; inclusive of descriptive, comparative, experimental, mathematical, statistical, and interdisciplinary approaches.
