Changes in food web structure and energy flow in kelp forest ecosystems on the south-west coast of South Africa following the invasion of Jasus lalandii by Steyn, Clara

“…In the early 1990s the west coast rock lobster Jasus lalandii underwent an eastward shift in distribution into an area known as East of Cape Hangklip where they had previously been rare. This shift has also been termed an invasion and resulted in a complete change in the benthic community structure, changing from one state dominated by herbivores and encrusting algae, to another state dominated by lobsters, sessile species, kelp and understory foliose algae. …”
