Neighbour-stranger relations in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
A unique relationship exists between neighbouring males and females in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis. This experiment was designed to demonstrate how a male fiddler crab... -
Natural male-female interactions and territoriality in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
The behaviour of U. capricornis is not well-known. Consequently, observations were made for approximately 1100 hours over 4 seasons to obtain a general picture of their social... -
Holocene evolutionary history and accumulation rates for the granite based MacGillivray Reef System, Northern Great Barrier Reef
MacGillivray Reef (formerly known as Shadwell Reef) is located in the Northern Great Barrier Reef province, approximately 270km north of Cairns. Reef drilling was undertaken to... -
Holocene evolutionary history and accumulation rates for the granite based Lizard Island Fringing Reef System, Northern Great Barrier Reef
Lizard Island is located in the Northern Great Barrier Reef province, approximately 270km north of Cairns. Reef drilling was undertaken to investigate the Holocene evolution of... -
Holocene evolution and accumulation rates for Rodrigues Fringing Reef in the Southwest Indian Ocean
Rodrigues is located at latitude 19°43' S and longitude 63°25' E in the Southwest Indian Ocean and features the best developed reefs in the Mascarenes. In 2001 a field... -
Daily colour changes associated with the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the daily colour changes in relation to the tidal cycle in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis. Experiments were conducted in the... -
Colour changes associated with the semilunar cycle in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis
The purpose of the experiment was to examine the colour changes associated with the semilunar cycle in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis. Experiments were conducted in the East... -
Colour changes associated with moulting in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis
The purpose of the experiment was to quantitatively examine the colour changes associated with moulting in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis. Experiments were conducted in the... -
Burrow tenure in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
Crabs sometimes vacate their territories due to continued harassment by their neighbours. To determine whether male-female pairs were longer lasting than male-male pairs, we... -
A visual summary and annotation of the stratification in core MD002361, sampled from the shelf edge off Western Australia
The core description highlights the stark contrast been glacial and interglacial periods. 1-1.5m bands of red/brown clay indicate interglacial periods, which then alternate with... -
Age vs. Depth of core MD032607 (off South Australia). Age has been calculated through modelling based on oxygen isotope records from Globigerina bulloides
The age with depth of core MD032607 is calculated through 18O values, which are then correlated with the SPECMAP age-model. Based upon these measurements the age at the deepest... -
Age vs. depth of core MD002361 (shelf edge offshore Western Australia). Age has been calculated using radiocarbon dating and modelling based on oxygen isotope records.
Radiocarbon dating was used to construct an age model for the upper sections of core MD002361 to a depth of 205cm, after which the age-model was based on the chronology of... -
Age vs. Depth of core BAR 9403 (located off the coast of Sumatra). Age has been calculated through modelling based on oxygen isotope records
The age with depth of core BAR9403 is calculated through 18O values, which are then correlated with the SPECMAP age-model. Based upon these measurements the age at the deepest...
