⭐ Rocky Shore Keystone Lab: Starfish, Mussel Takeover, Tidal Zonation and the Paine Removal Experiment

Two 3D rocky-shore walls side by side: one with starfish, one with the starfish removed as in Paine's classic experiment. Tides, mussel overgrowth, barnacles, algae, waves and predation play out on a cellular lattice, with zonation by height, diversity curves, a mean-field ODE check and independent numerical tests.
