Ocean temperature and density dependence as key drivers of the population dynamics of an intertidal crab at the Brazilian oceanic islands

et al. 2022

Understanding how climatic and density‐dependent processes affect demography is crucial for predicting population responses to climate change. For marine invertebrates with complex life cycle such as decapod crustaceans, increasing temperatures might affect survival and development of early pelagic stages, whereas high density can increase competition and thus reduce growth and fecundity of older life stages. In this study, we investigate the effects of warm ocean events, body size and density on the population dynamics of the intertidal Sally lightfoot crab (Grapsus grapsus) at the Brazilian oceanic islands. Firstly, we assessed the trends of marine heatwaves (MHW) and positive temperature anomalies (ΔSST+) at the equatorial St Peter and St Paul (SPSP) Archipelago and Rocas Atoll and the subtropical Trindade Island. We then jointly analyzed short‐term count, capture‐recapture and fecundity data, and long‐term population monitoring data (2003–2019) using an integrated population model. Warm ocean events have become more frequent and intense only at the equatorial islands. Increasing MHW frequency positively influenced recruitment in the high‐density SPSP population, while MHW intensity and ΔSST+ frequency had negative impacts. Conversely, no climatic effects were observed for the low‐density Rocas population, which has the largest crabs. Despite a lack of warming in Trindade, this subtropical population with intermediate density and body size was negatively affected by ΔSST+. Our findings revealed population‐specific responses to climate change when accounting for local life history and ecology. Thus, environmental and density‐dependent effects should be broadly considered in future conservation studies regarding ocean warming impacts on marine invertebrate populations.

Season‐specific impacts of climate change on canopy‐forming seaweed communities

Understory assemblages associated with canopy‐forming species such as trees, kelps, and rockweeds should respond strongly to climate stressors due to strong canopy‐understory interactions. Climate change can directly and indirectly modify these assemblages, particularly during more stressful seasons and climate scenarios. However, fully understanding the seasonal impacts of different climate conditions on canopy‐reliant assemblages is difficult due to a continued emphasis on studying single‐species responses to a single future climate scenario during a single season. To examine these emergent effects, we used mesocosm experiments to expose seaweed assemblages associated with the canopy‐forming golden rockweed, Silvetia compressa, to elevated temperature and pCO2 conditions reflecting two projected greenhouse emission scenarios (RCP 2.6 [low] & RCP 4.5 [moderate]). Assemblages were grown in the presence and absence of Silvetia, and in two seasons. Relative to ambient conditions, predicted climate scenarios generally suppressed Silvetia biomass and photosynthetic efficiency. However, these effects varied seasonally—both future scenarios reduced Silvetia biomass in summer, but only the moderate scenario did so in winter. These reductions shifted the assemblage, with more extreme shifts occurring in summer. Contrarily, future scenarios did not shift assemblages within Silvetia Absent treatments, suggesting that climate primarily affected assemblages indirectly through changes in Silvetia. Mesocosm experiments were coupled with a field Silvetia removal experiment to simulate the effects of climate‐mediated Silvetia loss on natural assemblages. Consistent with the mesocosm experiment, Silvetia loss resulted in season‐specific assemblage shifts, with weaker effects observed in winter. Together, our study supports the hypotheses that climate‐mediated changes to canopy‐forming species can indirectly affect the associated assemblage, and that these effects vary seasonally. Such seasonality is important to consider as it may provide periods of recovery when conditions are less stressful, especially if we can reduce the severity of future climate scenarios.
