Marine algal culture collection
This dataset provides details of over 1700 marine algal samples collected throughout the world between 1964 and 2010. The algal samples are kept in laboratory cultures at the... -
Latrobe Valley Ocean Outfall (LVOO) infaunal monitoring program near 90 Mile Beach, Victoria
The LVOO outfall was commissioned in 1992 to discharge a mixed effluent of domestic sewage and industrial wastewaters, including pulp mill effluent and formation water from... -
Laboratory experiment measuring expected drag forces on limpets
The expected drag forces that the average sized limpets were exposed to in the high and low intertidal zones at Griffith Point, Victoria were estimated in a continuously... -
Human activity and its effects on marine intertidal plant and animal populations: monitoring and management
This thesis examines the relationships between human use and biological changes in the rocky intertidal zone of the Bunurong Marine Park, Victoria between January 1990 and June... -
Human activities in Bunurong Marine Park, Victoria
This data was collected to quantify the recreational use of the Bunurong Marine Park. Observations were made on 139 days at 11 locations within the Park from 8th January 1990 to... -
Historical effects of periodic trampling on the cover of Hormosira banksii
This study examines the effects of experimental trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal platforms within the Point Nepean National Park, Victoria between 1991... -
Growth rate of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore in Victoria
This study used a mark-recapture method to examine the patterns of shell growth of Lepsiella vinosa on the rocky shore at West Head, Victoria. Individuals were collected from... -
Feeding patterns of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore in Victoria
This study used observations of Lepsiella vinosa and surveys of prey species to describe the diet of L.vinosa on rocky shore at West Head, Victoria. The numbers of individual... -
Effects of trampling on rocky intertidal communities
This data is from an experiment that was designed to assess the impact of trampling on Hormosira mats, Xenostrobus beds and in areas of 'bare-rock' where Siphonaria diemenensis... -
Effects of Sabella spallanzanii physical structure on soft sediment macrofaunal assemblages: effects on colonisation
The introduced European polychaete Sabella spallanzanii has become a dominant feature of sub-tidal habitats in south-eastern Australia. This study examines the physical effects... -
Effects of Sabella spallanzanii physical structure on soft sediment macrofaunal assemblages: effects on existing assemblages
The introduced European polychaete Sabella spallanzani has become a dominant feature of sub-tidal habitats in south-eastern Australia. This study examines the physical effects... -
Effects of periodic trampling on the percentage cover of understory algae within Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal communities
This study assesses the effects of trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal algal beds within Point Nepean National Park, Victoria, over six summers between... -
Effects of periodic trampling on the abundance of mobile animals within Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal communities
This study assesses the effects of trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal algal beds within Point Nepean National Park over six summers between 1991 and 1996.... -
Effects of periodic trampling on rocky intertidal algal beds: Hormosira banksii cover
This study examines the effects of trampling on rocky intertidal platforms dominated by the brown algae Hormosira banksii. This dataset gives the percent cover of Hormosira... -
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... -
Effects of introduced sessile invertebrates: removal experiments.
Three removal experiments were conducted to test the effects of the introduced species, Bugula neritina, Ascidiella aspersa and Botryllus schlosseri on sessile invertebrate... -
Effects of human activities on intertidal gastropods
This data was collected to investigate the relationship between human activities and size distribution of gastropods on rocky shores. It was predicted that there would be a... -
Ecological effects of introduced sessile marine invertebrates.
Manipulative field experiments were used to investigate the effects of the ascidians Botryllus schlosseri and Ascidiella aspersa and the bryozoan Bugula neritina on sessile... -
Denitrification measurements of sediments using cores and chambers: comparison of fluxes and denitrification efficiencies
Denitrification is a microbial process that takes place on and within sediment and results in the transformation of dissolved inorganic nitrogen to nitrogen gas (N2), which is... -
Comparing the effects of an introduced and native species of bryozoan
An experiment was conducted to compare the effects of the introduced bryozoan, Bugula neritina, and the native bryozoan, Bugula dentata, on sessile invertebrate assemblages....
