Measurements of natural abundances of stable isotopes and direct observation of gut contents were used to determine the trophic positions of three sympatric sea urchin species.... -
Relative effects of sea urchins and fish on adult and recruiting macroalgae...
An experiment was conducted over 13 months to test whether sea urchins and herbivorous fishes exert additive effects on the macroalgal assemblage. Specific predictions were that... -
