THE COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF WESTERN ATLANTIC PATAGONIAN ROCKY SHORES (2006, background): “…recovery from disturbance in both wave-exposed and wave-protected habitats was slow in control plots, with little recovery seen in four years, but rapid when consumers were excluded, with complete recovery occurring in less than two years in consumer exclusion cages (Bertness et al. 2002, 2004).”
Ecosystem Engineering across Environmental Gradients: Implications for Conservation and Management (2006, background): “Predator or herbivore refuge can be found in cracks or crevices in the rock (Connell 1961, Bertness et al. 2002), or can be established by engineering organisms that create sufficient surface heterogeneity to reduce feeding rates; for example, barnacle cover enables fucoid and mussel development as…”
Long term effects of Ascophyllum nodosum canopy removal on mid shore community structure (2004, background): “However, Bertness et al. (2002) considered the formation of Ascophyllum beds highly deterministic.”
Assembly and maintenance of subtidal habitat heterogeneity: synergistic effects of light penetration and sedimentation (2005, background): “…radiata forests and algal-turfs represent alternative stable states, evidence for this theory is notoriously difficult to provide (Peterson 1984) and controversial (Bertness et al. 2004, Petraitis & Dudgeon 2004b), but could change the way we view the origin and maintenance of these habitats.”
SPECIES INTERACTION STRENGTH: TESTING MODEL PREDICTIONS ALONG AN UPWELLING GRADIENT (2004, background): “…oceanographic conditions also can vary on intermediate scales to local scales, and such variability can be associated with differences in processes in communities (Menge 1978, Ebert and Russell 1988, Wing et al. 1995b, Menge et al. 1997a, Morgan 2001, Bertness et al. 2002, Sponaugle et al. 2002).”
TRAIT‐MEDIATED EFFECTS IN ROCKY INTERTIDAL FOOD CHAINS: PREDATOR RISK CUES ALTER PREY FEEDING RATES (2003, methodology): “…the recruitment success and population dynamics of perennial (e.g., Ascophyllum nodosum, Fucus vesiculosus) and ephemeral algae (e.g., Ulva sp., Enteromorpha sp.) and barnacles (Semibalanus balanoides) (Menge 1976, 1978a, b, Lubchenco 1978, Leonard et al. 1998, 1999, Bertness et al. 2002).”
ASSEMBLY HISTORY INTERACTS WITH ECOSYSTEM SIZE TO INFLUENCE SPECIES DIVERSITY (2004, background): “However, it is difficult to manipulate assembly history experimentally and monitor long-term dynamics along an ecosystem size gradient in natural communities (but see Dudgeon and Petraitis 2001, Bertness et al. 2002).”
The Population Biology of Large Brown Seaweeds: Ecological Consequences of Multiphase Life Histories in Dynamic Coastal (2006, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. vulnerable early life stages on the substratum (Bertness et al. 2002), which are prey to a wide range of grazers (e.g., small crustaceans, snails, sea urchins), and potentially unfavorable nutrient and sediment conditions near the boundary layer.”
Detection of alternative stable states in marine communities (2004, methodology): “Petraitis and Dudgeon (in press) have suggested that the experiments of Bertness et al. (2002) violate the requirements for valid tests of alternative states (Connell and Sousa, 1983; Peterson, 1984; Sousa and Connell, 1985), do not use clearings that were large enough, and were not properly…”
Direct experimental evidence for alternative stable states: a review (2005, background): “Correspondingly, Chase (2003a) only found predator /prey density ratiodependent divergence at intermediate productivity and Bertness et al. (2002) proposed by verbal arguing that contrasting rocky intertidal communities may present ASS only at intermediate wave action.”
