Hope to see you in San Diego SCI-‐031 Trophic subsidies in Coastal Ecosystems: implications for coastal management. James Nelson ([email protected]) & Linda Deegan & Jennifer Rehage Our understanding of the connections between coastal ecosystems has evolved substantially since the concept of 'outwelling' was first introduced. Recent research has identified trophic/biomass subsidies as an important link between ecosystems. In this symposium we seek to identify common themes in trophic subsidy research, with the aim of understanding how management practices can affect these fluxes. SCI-‐033 Can Animal Movements Change Spatially-‐Explicit Trophic Processes In Seascapes? Martha Mather ([email protected]) & Linda Deegan & Jack Finn & James Nelson To understand and predict patterns and processes in ecological systems, we need a framework that will unify what is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of animal movement using existing conceptual, empirical and analytical approaches. In this symposium, we seek to integrate empirical movement studies with ecological theory on spatial patterns and trophic interactions to guide movement studies, as well as to ground and test theoretical predictions.
