The biogeographical patterns of the marine algal flora of California have received little attention since the classical studies by Setchell (1893, 1917, 1935). This has been due in part to a lack of adequate floristic ...
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 ...

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 ...
Davis, W. A.; Junak, Steven A.(National Park Service, 1987)
Natural hybridization between Malacothrix polycephala W . Davis (ined.), an annual, and M . incana (Nutt.) Torrey & A. Gray, a perennial, on San Nicolas Island, California was examined using herbarium studies, studies in ...
Certain archaeological sites on the northern Channel Islands dating between ca. 4,500 and 7,500 B.P. contain unusually high frequencies of red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) shells. Assuming that aboriginal peoples living ...
