• Carbon export is facilitated by sea urchins transforming kelp detritus 

      Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Fredriksen, Stein; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Rinde, Eli; Kristiansen, Trond; Albretsen, Jon; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      With the increasing imperative for societies to act to curb climate change by increasing carbon stores and sinks, it has become critical to understand how organic carbon is produced, released, transformed, transported, and ...
    • Detrital carbon production and export in high latitude kelp forests 

      Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Fredriksen, Stein; Frisk, Nicolai Lond; Fagerli, Camilla With; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The production and fate of seaweed detritus is a major unknown in the global C-budget. Knowing the quantity of detritus produced, the form it takes (size) and its timing of delivery are key to understanding its role as a ...
    • Habitat configurations shape the trophic and energetic dynamics of reef fishes in a tropical–temperate transition zone: implications under a warming future 

      Bosch, Nestor E.; Pessarrodona, Albert; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Tuya, Fernando; Mulders, Yannick; Bell, Sahira; Langlois, Tim; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Understanding the extent to which species’ traits mediate patterns of community assembly is key to predict the effect of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on ecosystem functioning. Here, we apply a trait-based community ...
    • Local flexibility in feeding behaviour and contrasting microhabitat use of an omnivore across latitudes 

      Leclerc, Jean-Charles; de Bettignies, Thibaut; de Bettignies, Florian; Christie, Hartvig C; Franco, João N; Leroux, Cédric; Davoult, Dominique; Pedersen, Morten F; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      As the environment is getting warmer and species are redistributed, consumers can be forced to adjust their interactions with available prey, and this could have cascading effects within food webs. To better understand the ...
    • Movement of pulsed resource subsidies from kelp forests to deep fjords 

      Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Wernberg, Thomas; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Ramirez-Llodra, Eva; Pedersen, Morten Foldager (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Resource subsidies in the form of allochthonous primary production drive secondary production in many ecosystems, often sustaining diversity and overall productivity. Despite their importance in structuring marine communities, ...
