• TOP-DOWN HERBIVORY AND BOTTOM-UP EL NIÑO EFFECTS ON GALÁPAGOS ROCKY-SHORE COMMUNITIES (2006, background): “Two current focuses of ecology are the effects of global climate change and distinguishing the relative importance of bottom-up environmental effects versus the top-down influences of consumers (Menge and Branch 2001).”
• Bioengineer effects on understory species richness, diversity, and composition change along an environmental stress gradient: Experimental and mensurative evidence (2013, background): “Our temperature data confirmed the notion that, in intertidal habitats, thermal conditions are relatively benign at the low zone but increasingly stressful (with higher extremes and variability) as elevation increases (Raffaelli and Hawkins, 1999; Menge and Branch, 2001; Garbary, 2007).”
• Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning: emerging issues and their experimental test in aquatic environments (2004, unknown): “…marine systems, Underwood 2000), and such gradients and the abundance and variety of (often sedentary) organisms have made marine intertidal habitats one of the most important model systems for field-based ecological experimentation at the community level (Underwood 2000, Menge and Branch 2001).”
• TRAIT‐MEDIATED EFFECTS IN ROCKY INTERTIDAL FOOD CHAINS: PREDATOR RISK CUES ALTER PREY FEEDING RATES (2003, background): “…including predation (Paine 1966, Menge 1976), herbivory (Lubchenco 1978), competition (Connell 1961), environmental stress (Dayton 1971, Sousa 1979), and recruitment (Gaines and Roughgarden 1985) are important in structuring rocky intertidal communities (see Menge and Branch 2001 for review).”
• Field evidence of trait-mediated indirect interactions in a rocky intertidal food web (2002, background): “…indirect effects of predators are widely recognized as important to the structure of rocky intertidal communities (Menge 1995, 1997; Menge & Branch 2001), but relatively little attention has been paid to the role of trait-mediated indirect effects (but see Garrity & Levings 1981;…”
• Variation in marine benthic community composition allows discrimination of multiple stressors (2003, background): “Prior work by Peterson (1979) showed that competitive exclusion rarely determines soft-sediment community structure as it does so commonly in the rocky intertidal (Menge & Branch 2001).”
• Coral mortality following extreme low tides and high solar radiation (2007, unknown): “habitats in marine benthic habitats (Paine and Levin 1981; Menge and Branch 2001).”
• Facilitation research in marine systems: state of the art, emerging patterns and insights for future developments (2009, background): “The intertidal zone is characterized by extreme physical conditions for marine organisms (i.e. heat, desiccation, hammering by waves; Menge & Branch 2001; Pennings & Bertness 2001).”
• Intertidal mussels as ecosystem engineers: their associated invertebrate biodiversity under contrasting wave exposures (2014, background): “On marine rocky shores, wave action is a major factor that affects both intertidal community structure (Menge and Branch 2001; Bertness 2007; Heaven and Scrosati 2008) and mussel population structure (Alvarado and Castilla 1996; Alunno-Bruscia et al.”
• Synergistic effects associated with climate change and the development of rocky shore molluscs (2005, background): “Furthermore, tolerance to factors such as extreme salinity and temperature can dictate the distributional limits for some rocky shore invertebrates (reviewed by Menge & Branch 2000).”
• SPECIES INTERACTION STRENGTH: TESTING MODEL PREDICTIONS ALONG AN UPWELLING GRADIENT (2004, background): “To minimize the well known effect of variation in wave exposure on community dynamics (Lewis 1964, Menge and Branch 2001), sites were located on or near headlands in relatively wave-exposed locations.”
• Detection of alternative stable states in marine communities (2004, background): “Finally, the study by Barkai and McQuaid (1988) of the subtidal hard substrate communities of two islands in South Africa is a commonly cited example of alternative stable states (e.g., Menge and Branch, 2001).”
