ABSTRACT: Theory predicts that loss of gape-limited sharks should lead to increases in the abundance and biomass of smaller size classes of prey. We used stereo-baited remote underwater video stations ...

While the physical dimensions of climate change are now routinely assessed through multimodel intercomparisons, projected impacts on the global ocean ecosystem generally rely on individual models with ...

Born in food web ecology, the concept of trophic levels -- the hierarchy of who eats who in the natural world -- is an elegant way to understand how biomass and energy move through a natural system.

Mentor(s): Hank Stevens, Ph.D. Invasive species that do not rely on ecosystem gaps are poorly understood, yet they pose serious threats to ecosystem health. This study focuses on O. undulatifolius and ...
