Dataset Description: <p>Composition of sessile marine invertebrates from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Invertebrate communities developed under low predation for three or 12 months within cages and then underwent exposure to predation or were re-caged as controls. This experiment provided an assessment of predation impact on mature communities to complement predator exclusion experiments that measured impact of predators on prey community assembly.</p> Methods and Sampling: <p><strong>Methodology: </strong></p>
<p>Marine invertebrate communities grew on artificial settlement panels (14 x 14 cm) hung on floating docks one meter below the water surface at local marinas at three coastal sites in each region. Communities developed for three or 12 months under reduced predation (in cages). Caging materials had a mesh size of 0.635 cm.&nbsp; Communities were retrieved, assessed for percent cover of species, and assigned as controls (re-caged) or exposure treatments (no cage).&nbsp; Communities were re-deployed in the same location where they developed for a short-term, three-day experiment to test the impact of ambient predation on prey communities. Initial deployment of caged panels occurred in Alaska in June 2015, California in May 2016, Mexico in June 2017 and Panama in December 2015.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Sampling and analytical procedures: </strong></p>
<p>Following the assigned 3- or 12-month developmental period, communities were temporarily retrieved and brought back to a laboratory for assessment. Communities were re-deployed in their original location on the same day, and cages were either removed (exposure treatment) or kept intact (controls) for the short-term three-day experiment. After three days, communities were retrieved again and brought back to a laboratory for final assessment. At each assessment, sessile marine invertebrates from each community were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible on a 50-point grid using a stereoscope to generate a measure of percent cover by taxa.</p>

Community Effects of Competition and Predation across Latitude and Implications for Species Invasions

Community Effects of Competition and Predation across Latitude and Implications for Species Invasions
<p><em>Description from NSF award abstract:</em><br />
Global patterns of biodiversity demonstrate that most of the species on earth occur in the tropics, with strikingly fewer species occurring in higher-latitude regions. Biologists predict that this global pattern of species diversity is likely shaped by thee ecological interactions between species. Yet few detailed experimental data exist that demonstrate how species interactions influence natural communities from the tropics to the arctic. Therefore, a significant opportunity exists to transform our understanding of how these fundamental species interactions shape patterns of biodiversity across the globe. Furthermore, these species interactions have the strong potential to limit potentially harmful biological invasions by non-native species, which are often transported by human activities that can breach historical dispersal barriers, such as ocean basins and continents. Biological invasions can cause undesired ecological and economic effects and are considered one of the primary drivers of global change. Through extensive field research on marine ecosystems along the Pacific Coast of North and Central America, from the tropics to the subarctic, this project will study ecological factors that shape global patterns of diversity and limit biological invasions.</p>
<p>Biologists have long theorized that the latitudinal diversity gradient may be shaped by stronger species interactions, such as competition and predation, occurring in the tropics than at higher latitudes. Prior research suggests that predation pressure is indeed stronger at lower latitudes, but it is unclear how interactive effects of predation and competition structure communities to maintain these diversity patterns in ecological time. This project represents an international research program to expand ecological understanding of species interactions across latitude. The objectives are to determine the relative influences of two primary species interactions, competition and predation, on patterns of species diversity, community assembly and sensitivity to species invasion. Field research will employ a large-scale experimental approach that focuses on sessile marine invertebrate communities across 47 degrees of latitude (over 7000 km). Experiments will manipulate levels of predation and competition for one year and will be conducted in four regions, ranging from the subarctic to the tropics: Alaska, California, Mexico, and Panama. Communities of sessile marine invertebrates, composed of both native and non-native species, will be examined iteratively under different predation and competition regimes to evaluate community dynamics. The relative importance of a suite of factors, including environmental conditions and recruitment rates, to interaction outcomes will be evaluated.</p>
