Wave action in different intertidal zones on a rocky shore in Victoria
Wave action was measured on 10 sampling occasions from April to October 1987 in the high and low intertidal zones on a rocky shore in Western Port Bay, Victoria. Forty... -
Water Flow in Seagrass Ecosystems - Water Motion and Productivity
Field studies were conducted to investigate the effects of two levels of water velocity (exposure) on seagrass standing crop (biomass) and consequently community productivity.... -
Variation in the size and shape of limpets (Siphonaria diemenensis) on a rocky shore in Western Port Bay, Victoria
This study examined differences in the size and shape of Siphonaria diemenensis in the high and low intertidal zones on a rocky shore in Western Port Bay, Victoria. The... -
Uncertainty and the Active Adaptive Management of Marine Reserves: WORKING PAPER
This record describes, and links to a working paper produced through the Crawford School of Economics and Government at The Australian National University in Canberra.... -
Towed Video - Benthic survey of Karamea Bank, West Warrego, Barcoo Bank (2007-02-03 to 2007-02-20)
This data consists of 5418 records derived from 6 tows covering 10.421 km at 1.92m resolution, over a depth range of 50.1 to .7 meters. Classification of the benthos and... -
The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine invertebrate communities by pests: effects of copper pulse frequency in established assemblages
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine invertebrate communities by pests: effects of copper pulse frequency in developing assemblages
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
The relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera over time in core MD032607, located off the coast South Australia
The advent of deep-sea drilling in the 1950's prompted the use of planktonic foraminifera (unicellular protozans) as palaeoceanographic indicators. They provide a natural... -
The relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera over time in core MD 002361, located on the shelf edge, offshore Western Australia
The advent of deep-sea drilling in the 1950's prompted the use of planktonic foraminifera (unicellular protozans) as palaeoceanographic indicators. They provide a natural... -
The relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera over time in core BAR 9403, located off the coast of Sumatra
The advent of deep-sea drilling in the 1950's prompted the use of planktonic foraminifera (unicellular protozans) as palaeoceanographic indicators. They provide a natural... -
The population dynamics of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore in Victoria
This study surveyed the size distribution of Lepsiella vinosa at 3 sites on the rocky shore at West Head, Victoria. Monthly or bi-monthly searchers were conducted from June 1975... -
The population biology and predatory behaviour of Lepsiella vinosa (Lamarck 1822)
The population biology of the small predatory thaid gastropod Lepsiella vinosa was investigated on the rocky shore surrounding West Head, Western Port Bay, Victoria from June... -
The Phytoplankton Ecology of Wilson Inlet, Western Australia - Primary Production
Salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a, diffuse light attentuation coefficient for photosynthetically active radiation were collected to measure photosynthesis... -
The Phytoplankton Ecology of Wilson Inlet, Western Australia - Phytoplankton Dynamics
Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, irradiance, ammonium, nitrate, total nitrogen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silica, gilvin, chlorophyll a and phytoplankton samples were... -
The Phytoplankton Ecology of Wilson Inlet, Western Australia - Nutrient Limitation of Phytoplankton Biomass
Nutrient deletion bioassays were applied over a one-year period to the phytoplankton community of Wilson Inlet. The bioassay data was supplemented with in situ measurements of... -
The Phytoplankton Ecology of Wilson Inlet, Western Australia - Nitrogen Uptake
The phytoplankton uptake rates of ammonium, nitrate and urea on monthly, seasonal and annual time scales in Wilson Inlet were measured. In addition, it was determined whether... -
The influence of reef structure on the patterns and processes of Ecklonia radiata (C. Agardh) kelp beds of Hamelin Bay, Western Australia
The physical variables of light, water motion, reef slope and water depth were measured on topographically simple and complex reefs. These physical variables were linked to... -
The importance of predation in shaping marine sessile communities at Williamstown, Victoria
Predation on newly settled individuals has been shown to shape sessile invertebrate communities of the northeast coast of North America. This study tests if this response can... -
The feeding ecology of the intertidal limpet, Siphonaria diemenensis at Griffith Point, Victoria.
