INTRODUCTION
Seaweeds and marine herbivores live in constantly changing environments where benign and stressful periods are interspersed. Effects of these periodic stresses on seaweed-herbivore interactions are relatively unstudied, but it is clear that seaweed-herbivore interactions depend on both plant characteristics (Lubchenco and Gaines 1981, Hay and Fenical 1988, Duffy and Hay 1990, Hay and Steinberg 1992) and herbivore behavior and physiology (Lawrence 1975, Hawkins and Hartnoll 1983, Horn 1989). A few marine studies have investigated how recent physical (e.g., desiccation) or biological (e.g., grazing) history affects seaweed susceptibility to herbivores. ...
