Abstract
Community Responses to Climate-Related Variability and Disease: The Critical Importance of Long-Term Research
Highlights
Global change (GC) due to increasing CO2 and other greenhouse gases is perhaps the overarching challenge of our time (IPCC, 2014)
We summarize responses of key California Current Large Marine System (CCLME) processes to climatic modes like El NiñoSouthern Oscillation (ENSO), North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO), and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), examine research into how intertidal organisms deal with physiological stress, and summarize the 2013 sea star wasting event and its consequences
Using a longer (1989–2009) data set, we found that upwelling and multiple climate modes (ENSO, NPGO, PDO) influenced barnacle (Balanus glandula and Chthamalus dalli) and mussel (Mytilus spp.) recruitment (Menge et al, 2011)
Summary
Global change (GC) due to increasing CO2 and other greenhouse gases is perhaps the overarching challenge of our time (IPCC, 2014). Impact of Natural Climate Variability on Secondary Production To determine the responses of intertidal organisms to oceanic processes during their benthic, adult stages, Sanford and Menge (2001) investigated barnacle growth rates of two abundant intertidal species, B. glandula and C. dalli, in relation to upwelling-driven differences in phytoplankton and zooplankton abundances and thermal conditions. They found that these factors jointly explained differences in barnacle growth. Jones et al (2009, 2010) documented a a
