In temperate waters, consumer control by mesograzers prevents complete overgrowth of seaweeds. In polar waters, the mechanisms determining the abundances of sessile organisms associated with seaweeds are unknown. We empirically assessed the strength of the consumer control effect on the colonization of the sub-arctic red seaweed Phycodrys rubens by caging individual plants in the field in the shallow subtidal of the White Sea (65°N). We compared epibiosis on plants in consumer exclosure cages, in cages with the mesopredatory shrimp Spirontocaris phippsii, in semi-enclosed cages, and on unmanipulated plants in a cold year (2014) and a warm year (2015). Despite the dramatic interannual variation in consumer control, the mean total cover of epibionts in the absence of consumers never exceeded 15%. While consumers had a substantial effect on the total epibiont cover in the warm year and a nearly negligible effect in the cold year, the total cover of unmanipulated algae was similar in 2014 and 2015. Bryozoans, which were selectively impacted by consumers—particularly shrimp—dominated in both years. However, bryozoan abundance was much lower in 2015, when the abundance of hydroids, sponges, and bivalves—less affected by consumers—increased. Consumer control is not a key factor preventing most Phycodrys plants from being heavily overgrown. Yet, smaller plants, which have a higher epibiont cover, may indirectly benefit from consumers. Future climate changes are likely to make the Phycodrys epibiosis increasingly top-down regulated.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depth-specific hook and line sampling was conducted along the Pacific Ocean coast of Washington, USA. Our analysis, based on 187 Chinook salmon from 1299 sampling deployments and 6616 hooks, revealed a wide distribution of salmon in nearshore marine waters, with distinct patterns associated with fish size and age. Chinook salmon that spent one winter in marine waters were more likely to be caught at greater depths than those in their first year at sea, and larger fish were found at greater depths than smaller fish. The probability of Chinook salmon capture varied with depth, showing a higher likelihood of capture at midwater (>15 m from the surface and >5 m from the bottom) and near (<5 m) the bottom compared to near (<15 m) the surface. Additionally, environmental variables such as sea surface temperature, sea surface chlorophyll a, minutes to low tide, and boat speed unimodally influenced capture probability. Our study contributes valuable insights into the spatiotemporal ecology of Chinook salmon, offering a more mechanistic perspective for their management and conservation. The identified relationships between environmental covariates and Chinook salmon distribution can be used to inform life cycle models used to manage and protect this at-risk species and the ecosystem processes that depend on them, particularly in the context of changing oceanic conditions and their role as both predator and prey in marine ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although important to embryo survival and development in decapod crustaceans, brood grooming by ovigerous females may be impacted by energetically demanding conditions associated with climate change, which may contribute to lethal and sublethal outcomes for brood health and survival. Despite its potential importance to reproduction, brood-grooming behavior has not been empirically described in the American lobster Homarus americanus H. Milne Edwards, 1837, a commercially important marine decapod. The relationship between brood-grooming behavior, temperature, and pH was explored at different points in the embryogenesis of American lobsters. For a period of 5 mo, egg-bearing females were exposed to different combinations of ecologically relevant conditions of temperature and pH, including those reflecting ocean warming (+4°C), ocean acidification (-0.5 pH), and the combination of warming and acidification. Fecundity, embryo development, and female grooming behavior were assessed at multiple time points. The proportion of time that lobsters spent fanning, but not probing, their broods increased with advancing embryo development. Neither egg loss, nor any measured brood-grooming behaviors, varied significantly with temperature or pH in this experiment. American lobster reproduction appears well suited to tolerate future conditions of ocean acidification and warming based on the ability to maintain stable brood grooming and brood mortality levels under a range of conditions.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

White sharks Carcharodon carcharias, for example, exhibit a distinctly coastal phase as juveniles, with a limited distribution compared to the basin-scale range of adults. Using an unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV), we studied a coastal aggregation site within a Southern California Bight nursery area to determine how fine-scale temporal and oceanographic factors affect white sharks at different developmental stages. White shark density, as measured via UAV, was highly variable across time of day and day of year, with modest variation across years. Typically, more sharks were observed in the late afternoon hours. Sharks, especially those <3 m total length, were observed more often during periods of colder seafloor temperatures, potentially reflecting avoidance of these colder, deeper waters by more cold-intolerant smaller white sharks. Alternate models incorporating sea surface temperature showed a very small but significant association between surface temperatures and <3 m total length white sharks for the months we surveyed, but no such association for larger sharks. There were no or only modest effects of visibility, swell height, chl a levels, sea state, and tidal height on UAV-observed shark density. Understanding how temporal patterns and oceanographic predictors of density change over time as well as how shark ontogeny interacts with these factors can help us to better understand how this species uses coastal habitats and predict when they may be more likely to share marine space with humans.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the allometry of total body oxygen stores and metabolic rate, larger animals should have increased diving capacities and thus elevated ADLs. The short-finned pilot whale Globicephala macrorhynchus is a deep-diving species with pronounced sexual size dimorphism, and individuals are regularly found in size-mixed groups. Therefore, we asked how body size constrains dive durations in this species and whether behavioral ADL (bADL), estimated as the 95th percentile of dive duration, is a useful measure of physiological ADL. We analyzed 30169 dives from 45 animals tagged with satellite-linked recorders off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and Jacksonville, Florida, USA, and determined a species-level bADL of 18.8 min and individual bADLs ranging from 13.9 to 22.1 min. To assess the influence of size on bADL, we estimated the body lengths of 19 whales from dorsal fin measurements. Body length did not fully explain intraspecific bADL variation, but similar dive distributions and lower bADL variance between animals tagged together indicated a potential effect of group membership. Moreover, individuals in Cape Hatteras had a significantly lower median bADL than those in Jacksonville, suggesting location may influence dive durations. These results indicate the potential impact of social and location-specific factors on bADL estimates in a deep-diving, sexually dimorphic species.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantifying this influence requires information on prey consumption; however, establishing feeding habits of highly mobile predators is particularly challenging. Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen (δ13C and δ15N) have been applied to characterize the trophic ecology of Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus (ABFT) in several important regions; however, applications in Canada are lacking. Here, we used δ13C and δ15N values of ABFT muscle tissue collected in 2014-2018 on 2 important foraging grounds along the coast of Atlantic Canada to evaluate the temporally integrated trophic ecology of this ecologically and commercially important species. Populations of some small pelagic fish species in these areas have been depleted, and predation by ABFT is considered a potentially important contributor. Isotopic diet reconstructions found that Atlantic mackerel were the dominant prey in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, and a combination of Atlantic herring and sandlance were the most dominant prey consumed on the Scotian Shelf. Diet reconstructions identified an ontogenetic shift in prey consumption, with more sandlance consumed by smaller ABFT and a shift to higher consumption of Atlantic mackerel and Atlantic herring as fish increased in size. Isotopic niche overlap indicated relatively high overlap for adults among years, suggesting that ABFT did not show substantial inter-annual variation in their trophic ecology. Overall, the study provides insight into the trophic ecology of ABFT along the Atlantic Coast of Canada that can be integrated into investigations of predator impacts on depleted mackerel and herring populations.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explored how the type of disturbance influences the dynamics of a marine community. A pulse disturbance is an abrupt, high-magnitude shift in conditions that can cause immediate and significant impacts to an ecological community. Alternatively, press disturbances are long-term, multi-generational pressures acting on communities over time. The Northeast US Continental Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (NES LME) is one of the fastest-warming regions in the world and has experienced historic overfishing. Assemblage shifts in the NES LME have previously been characterized; however, these were prior to an unprecedented pulse disturbance marine heatwave (MHW) event in 2012 followed by punctuated MHWs over the last decade. We quantified community change across the NES LME using a community trajectory analysis, a multivariate tool that utilizes geometric analyses and comparisons of community trajectories, to quantify shifts in dynamic beta diversity. We hypothesized that the pulse MHWs would strongly influence ecosystem structure; however, no significant impact was detected. Our analysis indicates that the NES LME continues to tropicalize. However, it was not the pulse MHW events that seemed to drive change but rather ecosystem overfishing and rising temperatures. We quantified beta diversity over time in marine communities undergoing abrupt environmental changes and press disturbances. When expanded globally, this analysis can compare how variable disturbance pressures may result in different manifestations of beta diversity change within marine assemblages.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research considers the effects of climate-driven changes in temperature and salinity and their interactions with S. muticum on the growth and survival of M. pyrifera gametophytes from Tomales Bay, CA, USA. Using kelp culturing experiments, we tested (1) how different salinities and temperatures impact early life stages M. pyrifera from different sources within Tomales Bay, (2) how the presence of invasive S. muticum propagules affect M. pyrifera gametophyte development, and (3) how the combined effects of salinity, temperature, and S. muticum presence affect M. pyrifera early life stages. Our results suggest that M. pyrifera may be able to adapt to local conditions like salinity; however, higher temperatures from a changing climate and the presence of competitors from biological invasions act additively, but not interactively, to negatively impact the early life stages of kelp. By determining how foundation species respond to various abiotic and biotic stressors, we can better predict how these species will perform in a changing environment and how they will contribute to overall ecosystem resilience.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven functional traits within the context of 2 distinct groups—habitat use and trophic niche—were selected to assess functional richness (FRic), functional evenness (FEve), and functional dispersion (FDis) across various spatio-seasonal scales. Community-weighted mean redundancy analysis (CWM-RDA) was used to identify the impact of environmental factors on dominant traits. We found seasonal and spatial variations in dominant traits of the fish community, notably influenced by the latitudinal-depth gradient (from shallower stations in the north to deeper stations in the south), east-west (longitudinal) dynamics, and temperature gradient. Latitude was negatively correlated with the CWM values of most functional trait categories. FRic showed more pronounced seasonal variations than other indices, with higher values observed in autumn. Fish assemblages displayed more similarity in functional traits in winter than in other seasons, with lower FRic, higher FEve, and lower FDis. Overall, our findings illustrate that fish assemblages undergo continuous formation and dissolution across different seasons and zones, resulting in various forms of functional diversity patterns.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our survey included 9 fucoids (order Fucales), 4 ‘true kelps’ (order Laminariales), and 1 species in the order Desmarestiales over 4 seasons from multiple sheltered and wave-exposed sites. TPC observed among species varied by 2 orders of magnitude from the most concentrated in Carpophyllum flexuosum (estimated marginal mean [emmean] 212.6 ± 24.77 µmol per gram dry tissue weight [g DTW-1]) to the least concentrated in Lessonia variegata (emmean 10.88 ± 2.84 µmol g DTW-1). Within the sheltered kelp bed communities of the Otago Harbour, TPC was higher in the warmer months and lower in the cooler months within species. In the wave-exposed communities, TPC was on average higher in the spring compared to the summer within the observed community. Lastly, within one species across both inner and outer Harbour communities, a Vargha and Delaney’s A measure suggests a specimen collected from the sheltered inner harbour sites would have a higher probability of being more concentrated in TPC than a specimen from the wave-exposed sites in the spring and summer (A-estimates 0.90 and 0.76, respectively) and a high probability of being more concentrated in the winter (A-estimate 0.70). Overall, variation in TPC among species within macroalgal communities suggests shifts toward more opportunistic species may impact community-wide TPC. Changes in species composition have important implications for the palatability of organic matter produced from macroalgal communities and the pathways for macroalgal-derived organic matter into coastal food webs.","PeriodicalId":18193,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology Progress Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
