Larval habitat selection, not larval supply, determines settlement patterns and adult distribution in two chthamalid barnacles
1. Two common species of acorn barnacle, Chthamalus montagui and C. stellatus , with similar resource needs, occur together on rocky shores of NW Europe but differ in their adult distribution over two environmental gradients, wave exposure and vertical height on the shore. 2. A sampling programme was undertaken over 2 years to determine the causal mechanisms of this differential distribution. T...
متن کاملInfluence of recruitment and temperature on distribution of intertidal barnacles in the English Channel
Many warm-water (Lusitanian) species reach their limits in the central English Channel, failing to penetrate to the North Sea. We re-surveyed the eastern limits of the Lusitanian intertidal barnacles Chthamalus montagui and C. stellatus, from 1994 to 2004, a decade of exceptionally high sea temperatures, and found range extensions on both sides of the Channel compared to the 1950s and 1970s. An...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal variation in barnacle growth in a coastal upwelling system
Recent studies suggest that large-scale variation in nearshore primary productivity may strongly influence the dynamics of rocky intertidal communities. Among the hypothesized effects is a link between phytoplankton abundance and the growth of barnacles and other suspension feeders. We tested the strength of this association on the central coast of Oregon, USA, by quantifying watercolumn chloro...
متن کاملEffects of Spartina alterniflora invasion on distribution of Moerella iridescens in a tidal flat of Western Pacific Ocean
The invasion of Spartina alterniflora significantly affected the local ecosystem of Western Pacific Ocean where Moerella iridescens lives. Five patches with different invasion stages of S. alterniflora were selected and the influence on distribution of M. iridescens was studied on the coast of Wenzhou Bay, China in 2007. The aggregated distribution pattern was proved by using Taylor's power re...
