Major tropical storms are destructive phenomena with large effects on the community dynamics of multiple biomes. On coral reefs, their impacts have been described for decades, leading to the expectation that future storms should have effects similar to those recorded in the past. This expectation relies on the assumption that storm intensities will remain unchanged, and the impacted coral reef communities are similar to those of the recent past; neither assumption is correct. These data support a study quantifying the effects of two category five hurricanes on the reefs of St. John, US Virgin Islands, where 31 y of time-series analyses reveal chronic coral mortality, increasing macroalgal abundance, and five major hurricanes that caused acute coral mortality. Contextualized by these trends, the effects of the most recent storms, Hurricanes Irma and Maria (September 2017), on coral cover were modest. While mean absolute coral cover declined 1\\u20134% depending on site, these effects were not statistically discernable. Following decades of increasing abundance of macroalgae, this functional group responded to the recent hurricanes with large increases in abundance on both absolute and relative scales. Decades of chronic mortality have changed the coral assemblages of St. John to create degraded communities that are resistant to severe storms.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nTransect_num (unitless)\nQuadrat_num (unitless)\nCoral_1989 (percent)\nCoral_1995 (percent)\nCoral_1996 (percent)\nCoral_Jul_17 (percent)\nCoral_Nov_17 (percent)\n | https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/metadata/iso19115/xml/bcodmo_dataset_750265_iso19115.xml | https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/info/bcodmo_dataset_750265/index.htmlTable | https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/750265![]() | https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/rss/bcodmo_dataset_750265.rss | https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/subscriptions/add.html?datasetID=bcodmo_dataset_750265&showErrors=false&email= | BCO-DMO | bcodmo_dataset_750265 | ||||

A reduction in pH has been shown to affect mussel growth and shell thickness along the Pacific coast of North America. Mussels, Mytilus californianus, are a foundation species in rocky shore ecosystems and are prey for a number of taxa, including the Channeled Dogwhelk, Nucella canaliculata, which feeds by drilling a hole through the shell of their prey. Previous research has documented geographic variation in N. canaliculata predator drilling phenotype on Mytilus californianus. However, few studies have assessed how variation in mussel shell traits shape the evolution of this co-evolving predator. Thus, we analyzed M. californianus shell thickness over two decades (2000-2001, 2008-2009, and 2019) and across ~1,000 kilometers of coastline to quantify the prey-driven selection landscape. We analyzed mussel shell thickness at 1/3 the length of the mussel shell as this is the most commonly drilled region. Mussel shells from the central Oregon coast were thicker than those from California. This pattern is associated with geographic variation in predator drilling phenotypes. However, the selective landscape appears to be changing, with recent mussel shells being thinner than a decade prior, particularly on the central Oregon coast. This research highlights the importance of studying species interactions across broad spatial and temporal scales.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nSite (unitless)\nSite_Code (unitless)\nState (unitless)\nLatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nDate_Collected (unitless)\nYear_Collected (unitless)\nTime_Period (unitless)\nQuadrat_num (unitless)\nMussel_num (unitless)\nShell_Length (millimeters (mm))\nHeight (millimeters (mm))\n...
