Interspecific competition between Arctic kelps on different spatial and temporal scales.
The two kelp species Alaria esculenta and Laminaria digitata are co-occurring in the shallow sublittoral at a depth between 0 m and 8-10 m at our Arctic study site in Kongsfjorden, western Spitsbergen but they also co-occur at their southern distribution boundary in Brittany, France.

The two kelp species Alaria esculenta and Laminaria digitata are co-occurring in the shallow sublittoral at a depth between 0 m and 8-10 m at our Arctic study site in Kongsfjorden, western Spitsbergen but they also co-occur at their southern distribution boundary in Brittany, France. The physical driving forces for their vertical and geographical distribution pattern are partially known but the effect of abiotic factors on interspecific competition of these con-specifics has never been investigated. The latter might become more and more important, especially under future global warming scenarios. In our study, we thus investigated the interaction of early recruitment stages (spores, gametophytes, juvenile sporophytes) between A. esculenta and L. digitata under varying temperature conditions on different spatial (µm to cm) and temporal scales (days to weeks), comparing responses of clonal and freshly derived gametophytes in laboratory experiments, either in single culture controls or diverse co-cultivation set-ups.
