California spiny lobsters and benthic community structure in Southern California: top-down and bottom-up interactions

Abstract

We hypothesize that: spiny lobster movement behavior is governed by a combination of forces acting from the bottom-up (i.e. food availability) and from the top-down (i.e. risk of predation); and that spiny lobsters significantly influence the structure of benthic communities in kelp forest and seagrass habitat.
