  • Rapid Global Expansion of Invertebrate Fisheries: Trends, Drivers, and Ecosystem Effects 

    Anderson, Sean C., Joanna Mills Flemming, Reg Watson, and Heike K. Lotze. 2011. "Rapid Global Expansion of Invertebrate Fisheries: Trends, Drivers, and Ecosystem Effects." Plos One 6(3): 14735-e14735.
    Background: Worldwide, finfish fisheries are receiving increasing assessment and regulation, slowly leading to more sustainable exploitation and rebuilding. In their wake, invertebrate fisheries are rapidly expanding with ...
  • Regional-scale effects of eutrophication on ecosystem structure and services of seagrass beds 

    Schmidt, Allison L., Jessica K. C. Wysmyk, Susanne E. Craig, and Heike K. Lotze. 2012. "Regional-scale effects of eutrophication on ecosystem structure and services of seagrass beds." Limnology and Oceanography 57(5): 1389-1402.
    Using large-scale field surveys across 12 estuaries in two provinces in Atlantic Canada, we analyzed changes in phytoplankton and benthic macroalgal communities as well as the canopy structure of eelgrass beds and quantified ...
  • Strong bottom-up and top-down control of early life stages of macroalgae 

    Lotze, Heike K., Boris Worm, and Ulrich Sommer. 2001. "Strong bottom-up and top-down control of early life stages of macroalgae." Limnology and Oceanography 46(4): 749-757.
    In contrast to most pelagic primary producers, benthic macrophytes pass through morphologically distinct life stages, which can be subject to different ecological controls. Using factorial field experiments, we investigated ...
  • Two centuries of multiple human impacts and successive changes in a North Atlantic food web 

    Lotze, Heike K., and Inka Milewski. 2004. "Two centuries of multiple human impacts and successive changes in a North Atlantic food web." Ecological Applications 14(5): 1428-1447. Copyright by the Ecological Society of America
    European colonization of North America, severely altered terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems alike. Here, we integrate archaeological, historical, and recent data to derive the ecological history of the Quoddy Region, Bay ...
