摘要

In intertidal communities, consumers (especially carnivorous gastropods) have historically been thought to exert strong top-down control on community composition by regulating competitively dominant mussels and barnacles. This paradigm was formulated based on wire mesh cage exclusion experiments, which have well-known artifacts such as altering hydrodynamics and excluding non-target, but potentially important, consumer species. Recent research highlights the potential importance of multiple consumers that are often subtle and transient, as well as the modifications of consumer pressure by spatial and temporal environmental variability and bottom-up processes. Manipulative experiments that target individual taxa will be essential to more clearly identify their roles in complex ecological communities.
