Changing nutritional seascapes of kelp forests
Shalders, Tanika C.; Champion, Curtis; Benkendorff, Kirsten; Davis, Tom; Wernberg, Thomas; Morris, Stephen; Coleman, Melinda A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ocean warming and short-term extreme events (e.g. marine heatwaves) are becoming more intense and frequent and have had major impacts on ecosystems. Seaweeds are foundational components of temperate reefs, providing nutrition ... -
Genotypic variation in response to extreme events may facilitate kelp adaptation under future climates
Alsuwaiyan, Nahlah A.; Vranken, Sofie; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Cambridge, Marion; Coleman, Melinda A.; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have caused declines in many kelp forests globally. Although the ecological effects of these climatic extremes have been well examined, studies on the role of genotypic variation in underpinning ... -
Green gravel as a vector of dispersal for kelp restoration
Alsuwaiyan, Nahlah A.; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Vranken, Sofie; Burkholz, Celina; Cambridge, Marion; Coleman, Melinda A.; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Kelp forests are experiencing substantial declines due to climate change, particularly ocean warming and marine heatwaves, and active interventions are necessary to halt this decline. A new restoration approach termed ... -
Host genotype and microbiome associations in co-occurring clonal and non-clonal kelp, Ecklonia radiata
Vadillo Gonzalez, Sebastian; Vranken, Sofie; Coleman, Melinda A.; Wernberg, Thomas; Steinberg, Peter D.; Marzinelli, Ezequiel M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A fundamental question in holobiont biology is the extent to which microbiomes are determined by host characteristics regulated by their genotype. Studies on the interactions of host genotype and microbiomes are emerging ... -
Impacts of Climate Change on Marine Foundation Species
Wernberg, Thomas; Thomsen, Mads S.; Baum, Julia K.; Bishop, Melanie J.; Bruno, John F.; Coleman, Melinda A.; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Gagnon, Karine; He, Qiang; Murdiyarso, Daniel; Rogers, Kerrylee; Silliman, Brian R.; Smale, Dan A.; Starko, Samuel; Vanderklift, Mathew A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Marine foundation species are the biotic basis for many of the world's coastal ecosystems, providing structural habitat, food, and protection for myriad plants and animals as well as many ecosystem services. However, climate ... -
Impacts of marine heatwaves in coastal ecosystems depend on local environmental conditions
Starko, Samuel; van der Mheen, Mirjam; Pessarrodona, Albert; Wood, Georgina V.; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Neufeld, Christopher J.; Montie, Shinae; Coleman, Melinda A.; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Marine heatwaves (MHWs), increasing in duration and intensity because of climate change, are now a major threat to marine life and can have lasting effects on the structure and function of ecosystems. However, the responses ... -
Reef Adapt: A tool to inform climate-smart marine restoration and management decisions
Wood, Georgina V.; Griffin, Kingsley J.; van der Mheen, Mirjam; Breed, Martin F.; Edgeloe, Jane M.; Grimaldi, Camille; Minne, Antoine J. P.; Popovic, Iva; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; van Oppen, Madeleine J. H.; Wernberg, Thomas; Coleman, Melinda A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)A critical component of ecosystem restoration projects involves using genetic data to select source material that will enhance success under current and future climates. However, the complexity and expense of applying ...
