Abstract:<p>Disturbance is a fundamental process that affects the structure and dynamics of populations. Wave action is an important agent of disturbance in coastal marine systems, and the frequency and severity of wave-associated disturbances is forecasted to increase with climate change. Understanding the effects of waves on coastal marine ecosystems, and the ability of organisms to adapt to wave action, is of growing importance. This is particularly true for intertidal/shallow subtidal species that are sub… Show more
