The islands off southern California diversify the coastal environment by doubling the length of shoreline and extending coastal habitats (Horn 1974). Geologically, and perhaps biologically,
these islands may be classified ...
In 1965 and 1966, Charles Harper studied aspects of reproductive biology in a colony of less than thirty pairs of Western Gulls (Larus occidentalis Armani) on Bird Rock, a small islet approximately 530 m off the east side ...
The diverse assemblage of organisms associated with Mytilus californianus Conrad (Mollusca: Bivalvia) populations is a useful tool for examining biogeographic patterns of intertidal species distributions in the Southern ...

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 ...
