Population dynamics of the infaunal bivalve, Soletellina alba
The population dynamics of the infaunal bivalve Soletellina alba were investigated at three sites situated in close proximity to the mouth of the Hopkins River estuary from 1997... -
Reproduction of Holothuria whitmaei (sea cucumber) in the Indian and Pacific...
Seasonal trends in the gonad index (GI) of two widely separated populations of black teatfish, Holothuria whitmaei (Bell, 1887), were investigated between Pacific (Great Barrier... -

Study on genetic structure, demography and recruitment of several species of marine invertebrates. -
WAMSI 2 - Kimberley Node - Project 1.1.3 - Ecological connectivity of...
The overarching objective is to infer the routine distances of dispersal and patterns of connectivity among key populations within the Kimberley. Nine sub-projects will address... -
Patterns of development in the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
This experiment examined the temporal changes in species composition and diversity of a developing epifaunal community on artificial substrata at Portsea. The substrata used... -
Long term studies of population and community structure on intertidal rock...
Data has been collected on the patterns of distribution and abundance, recruitment, survival and growth of macroinvertebrate fauna on the rocky intertidal shores at Rottnest... -
The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine...
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
Effects of introduced species on the recruitment of sessile invertebrates.
This experiment was conducted to determine if an established Botryllus schlosseri colony affected the recruitment of sessile invertebrates. Small perspex plates that had been in... -
Relative effects of sea urchins and fish on adult and recruiting macroalgae...
An experiment was conducted over 13 months to test whether sea urchins and herbivorous fishes exert additive effects on the macroalgal assemblage. Specific predictions were that... -
Patterns of establishment and subsequent change in the structure of a marine...
Artificial substrata were used to investigate the patterns of establishment and change in the structure of a subtidal, marine epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria from... -
Ecological effects of the introduced fanworm, Sabella spallanzanii (Gmelin,...
Sabella spallanzanii is an introduced sabellid ploychaete that is thought to be native to the Mediterranean and east Atlantic coast. Since its first identification in Port... -
Genetics and demography of marine invertebrates at Ningaloo
Study of the genetic structure, demography and recruitment of several species of marine invertebrates. -
Patterns of recruitment of epifaunal species at Portsea, Victoria.
This study investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of recruitment of epifaunal species at Portsea. Recruitment panels were immersed at depths of 1 - 2.2 metres for 10... -
The effects of copper antifouling paints and marinas on the ecology of...
This thesis has used a field based approach to assess the effects of copper liberated from antifouling paints on sessile epifaunal (or fouling) assemblages in southeastern... -
Substantial asexual recruitment of mushroom corals contributes little to...
The contribution of asexual versus sexual recruitment to populations of the mushroom coral Fungia fungites was investigated at 2 sites with contrasting sediment regimes, located... -
Abundance and Breeding Cycle of the Australian Sea Lion in Western Australia
This study assessed sea lion pup production at 9 breeding sites in Western Australia (ranging from Houtman Abrolhos Islands to Six Mile Island at the start of Great Australian... -
The importance of predation in shaping marine sessile communities at...
Predation on newly settled individuals has been shown to shape marine sessile invertebrate communities of the northeast coast of North America. This study tests if this response... -
Effects of predation by fishes on the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
Exclusions were attached to artificial substrata to investigate the relative effects of predation on the development of epifaunal communities at Portsea. Exclusions were black... -
Examination of linkages and gene flow of numerous fish species between...
Examination of linkages and gene flow of numerous fish species between Rowley Shoals, Scott Reef and the wider Indian Ocean.
