©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Chiton density from removal experiments in rocky intertidal Marine Protected Areas, San Juan Islands from 2008-2011. See the "Related Datasets" section for more datasets from the study described below: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that red urchins (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) and lined chitons (Tonicella spp.) are redundant in the maintenance of available space, defined here as encrusting algae and bare rock. In a factorial field experiment replicated at three sites, we reduc...
