  abstract = {{F}ronts are particularly productive regions of the ocean, and biodiversity hotspots for many marine species. {H}ere we use an ocean-ecosystem model to investigate the effect of fronts on plankton ecology. {W}e focus on energetic fronts in {W}estern {B}oundary {C}urrent systems that efficiently inject nutrients into the euphotic layer and which are physical boundaries between productive and oligotrophic provinces. {W}e found that the fronts form an environment distinct from both provinces, favorable to some plankton groups (diatoms, dinoflagellates and large carnivorous zooplankton) and less favorable to others (pico-phytoplankton, coccolithophores and small grazers), and with an overall larger diversity. {I}n agreement with previous understanding, we find that bottom-up abiotic processes (nutrient enrichment) explain the prevalence of groups with fast growing rates (the "winners"). {I}mportantly, our results also show that biotic interactions within the ecosystem may play a larger role than previously thought. {W}e show that the winners can have a negative impact on other plankton species (the "losers") through two indirect competitive processes: community shading (modification of the light environment by the plankton community leading to light-limitation of some plankton groups) and shared predation (where an increase in one functional group leads to increased grazing by a shared predator on another functional group).},
