This paper reviews eddies and their ecological effects in the California Current System (CCS). The importance of eddies lies in the physical properties of eddy motion and the effect on what we can identify to be systematic ...
Bleitz, Dana E.; Salls, Roy A.(National Park Service, 1993)
The striking development in the 9,500 year adaptation of the maritime culture to San Clemente Island is the increasing-importance of kelp bed fishing. This evolution can be traced through faunal and artifact records. The ...
This paper constitutes the second investigation of the lichens of Santa Barbara Island. The collections made on the island by Blanche Trask in 1901-1902 were previously reported by Hasse (1903a-d, 1913). The known lichen ...

In 1975 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) initiated a series of marine studies in the southern California borderland (Straughan 1977b, 1978). These studies were to establish a baseline and to determine "areas of concern" ...
Seapy, Roger R.; Littler, Mark M.(National Park Service, 1980)
The macroinvertebrate fauna of the rocky intertidal zone on the Southern California islands is incompletely known; consequently, it has not been possible to determine zoogeographical relationships among the various islands ...
Wolfbrandt Mastro, Lisa(National Park Service, 1987)
Exotic introduced species can disrupt native ecosystems and be particularly devastating on islands. Two brooms, Dyers' greenwold (Cytisus linifolius) and French broom (C. monspessulanus) (Fabaceae) may potentially outcompete ...
The natural history of four sympatric species of red seaweeds in the genus Rhodymenia Greville (R. californica Kylin, R. pacifica Kylin, R. callophyllidoides Hollenberg & Abbott and R. arborescens Dawson) was investigated ...
Research on San Nicolas Island prehistory currently describes an aboriginal maritime adaptation which appeared about 6,800 years ago. Faunal data from the stratified site of SNI-11 indicate an early procurement strategy ...
Despite the importance of fire in the maintenance of chaparral and closed-cone pine forests on the mainland, there have been only three documented lightning-caused fires in such habitats on the islands during the past 140 ...
