  • Spatial heterogeneity of phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools: Effects of abiotic and biotic factors 

    Metaxas, A., and RE Scheibling. 1996. "Spatial heterogeneity of phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools: Effects of abiotic and biotic factors." Marine Ecology Progress Series 130(1-3): 179-199. doi:10.3354/meps130179
    In any ecological system, the factors that regulate the abundance of species vary with spatial scale; therefore, the sources of spatial variability should be described. We examined different sources of variability in the ...

  • Top down and bottom-up regulation of phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools 

    Metaxas, A., and RE Scheibling. 1996. "Top down and bottom-up regulation of phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools." Marine Ecology Progress Series 145(1-3): 161-177. doi:10.3354/meps145161
    We examined the relative importance of bottom-up (nutrient availability) and top-down (grazing) factors in regulating phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools on a rocky shore near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We manipulated ...
