Temperature-mediated outbreak dynamics of the invasive bryozoanMembranipora membranaceain Nova Scotian kelp beds

ABSTRACT: We used underwater videography to examine seasonal and interannual patterns in the cover (on kelp) of the encrusting epiphytic bryozoanMembranipora membranacea, and associated changes in the structure and abundance of native kelp (Saccharina longicruris) populations, at 2 sites on the Atla...
