\nAbundance of two co-occurring intertidal sea-star species shifted during the recent outbreak of sea star wasting disease along North America\u2019s west coast. Pisaster ochraceus<\/em> declined in abundance and size\u00a0during the outbreak, while rare\u00a0Evasterias troschelii<\/em> became\u00a0numerically dominant. The results suggest that indirect effects mediated by competition or other ecological relationships can mask the direct effects of disease outbreaks.<\/p>\n
