Project: Community Effects of Competition and Predation across Latitude and Implications for Species Invasions (Competition and Predation across Latitude)


Abstract

Composition of newly recruited communities of sessile marine invertebrates from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Caging treatments were employed to test the effect of predation on recruitment. Monitoring began in Alaska in June 2015, California in May 2016, Mexico in June 2017 and Panama in December 2015.
