BULLETIN of the
Ecological Society of America

Volume 87, Number 2
April 2006

Cover Photo: Mark Bertness, Brown University, and Fernando Hidalgo, Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco, look over experimental transplants on one of the most physically harsh rocky intertidal environments ever studied in Patagonia, Argentina. The mussel Perumytilus purpuratus dominates this exposed point in dense, deep beds, creating moist interstitial habitat upon which almost all other intertidal organisms depend. Experimental sites are in Cabo dos Bahias National Park in Chubut Province, Argentina.
Ecological patterns on these rocky shores are explored in, “The community structure of western Atlantic Patagonian rocky shores” by M. D. Bertness, C. M. Crain, B. R Silliman, M. V. Reyna, M. C. Bazterrica, F. Hildago, and J. M. Farina, to appear in Ecological Monographs 76(3), August 2006.

Starting with the January 2003 issue, the Bulletin is available online only.
