from coordinated research efforts highlights components critical to ecosystem resilience and helps direct future research efforts. Indirect food web and synergistic
effects have significance both for injury assessment and recovery planning in largescale ecosystem disturbances like DWH.
Funding Information This research was made possible by grants from the Gulf of Mexico
Research Initiative through its consortia: the Center for the Integrated Modeling and Analysis of
the Gulf Ecosystem (C-IMAGE) and the Deep Sea to Coast Connectivity in the Eastern Gulf of
Mexico (Deep-C). Data are publicly available through the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative
Information and Data Cooperative (GRIIDC) at https://data.gulfresearchinitiative.org (doi:
