Abstract
Quantitative Biogeography: Large-Scale, Long-Term Change in the Rocky Intertidal Region of the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem
Highlights
Understanding how physical processes shape patterns of species’ diversity and distribution over space and time has been a long-standing goal of biogeography (Dana, 1853; Lomolino et al, 2010)
KEY FINDINGS Below, we highlight some of the key contributions our monitoring program has made toward a better understanding of spatial and temporal biogeographic patterns along the west coast of North America, and how these findings have provided a basis for sound policy and management decisions
Biogeography originated as a means of identifying patterns in species distributions and diversity, primarily from descriptive studies of presence/absence (Dana, 1853)
Summary
Understanding how physical processes shape patterns of species’ diversity and distribution over space and time has been a long-standing goal of biogeography (Dana, 1853; Lomolino et al, 2010). B. A geospatial grid protocol that employed fixed transects that run from high to low tidal zones to allow for three-dimensional mapping of species at each site and assessment of community change over time at local (vertical distribution) and geographic (latitudinal) scales.
