摘要

Benthic rocky intertidal species are irregularly distributed along marine coast-lines. Nearshore pelagic conditions often explain such variation, but such studieshave overwhelmingly been done on eastern ocean boundary coasts. We inves-tigated the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, a western ocean boundary coast. Westudied wave- exposed, rocky intertidal habitats spanning 415 km of coastline. Thespring recruitment of barnacles and mussels (the two main filter- feeders) variedirregularly along the coast. Coastal phytoplankton, particulate organic carbon, andsea surface temperature explained, to varying degrees, the geographic structureof recruitment. In turn, the summer abundance of barnacles and mussels waspositively related to their spring recruitment. Ultimately, predator (dogwhelk)abundance was positively related to the recruitment and/or abundance of barna-cles and mussels (the main prey of dogwhelks). Overall, these data support theoccurrence of benthic–pelagic coupling and bottom- up forcing on this westernocean boundary coast.
