BULLETIN of the
Ecological Society of America

Volume 87, Number 1
January 2006

Cover Photo: A Galápagos marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus, basks in the sun after foraging. Iguanas forage on seaweeds in the intertidal zone during low tide. Foraging ability is reduced by heavy swells and high seas, but even more by the warming effects of El Niño, which reduce nutrient availability and algal growth. Marine iguanas suffered ~50% mortality during the 1982–1983 El Niño episode, and there were substantial reductions during the 1997–1998 event, which occurred while the study was in progress. This photograph was taken by Luis Vinueza in connection with an article by L. R. Vinueza, G. M. Branch, M. L. Branch, and R. H. Bustamente, “Top-down herbivory and bottom-up El Niño effects on Galápagos rocky-shore communities,” to be published in Ecological Monographs 76(1), February 2006.
