Seasonal variations in ectotherm growth rates: Quantifying growth as an intermittent non steady state compensatory process Seasonal variations in ectotherm growth rates: Quantifying growth as an intermittent non steady state compensatory process
Generally, growth rates of living organisms are considered to be at steady state, varying only under environmental forcing factors. For example, these rates may be described as a function of light for plants or organic food resources for animals and these could be regulated (or not) by temperature or other conditions. But, what are the consequences for an individual's growth (and also...

Global patterns of phytoplankton dynamics in coastal ecosystems Global patterns of phytoplankton dynamics in coastal ecosystems
Scientific Committee on Ocean Research Working Group 137 Meeting; Hangzhou, China, 17-21 October 2010; Phytoplankton biomass and community structure have undergone dramatic changes in coastal ecosystems over the past several decades in response to climate variability and human disturbance. These changes have short- and long-term impacts on global carbon and nutrient cycling, food web...

Projected evolution of California's San Francisco bay-delta-river system in a century of climate change Projected evolution of California's San Francisco bay-delta-river system in a century of climate change
Background: Accumulating evidence shows that the planet is warming as a response to human emissions of greenhouse gases. Strategies of adaptation to climate change will require quantitative projections of how altered regional patterns of temperature, precipitation and sea level could cascade to provoke local impacts such as modified water supplies, increasing risks of coastal flooding...

Biological communities in San Francisco Bay track large‐scale climate forcing over the North Pacific Biological communities in San Francisco Bay track large‐scale climate forcing over the North Pacific
Long‐term observations show that fish and plankton populations in the ocean fluctuate in synchrony with large‐scale climate patterns, but similar evidence is lacking for estuaries because of shorter observational records. Marine fish and invertebrates have been sampled in San Francisco Bay since 1980 and exhibit large, unexplained population changes including record‐high abundances of...

Patterns and scales of phytoplankton variability in estuarine: Coastal ecosystems Patterns and scales of phytoplankton variability in estuarine: Coastal ecosystems
Phytoplankton variability is a primary driver of chemical and biological dynamics in the coastal zone because it directly affects water quality, biogeochemical cycling of reactive elements, and food supply to consumer organisms. Much has been learned about patterns of phytoplankton variability within individual ecosystems, but patterns have not been compared across the diversity of...
