Miniature baited remote underwater video (mini-BRUV) reveals the response of cryptic fishes to seagrass cover
Seagrass habitats worldwide are degrading and becoming fragmented, threatening the important ecosystem services they provide. Fauna associated with seagrasses, particularly cryptic species, are expected to res...

Behavioral interactions under multiple stressors: temperature and salinity mediate aggression between an invasive and a native fish
Interspecific aggression is a critical determinant of the success and competitive superiority of many invasive over native species. While single abiotic stressors can alter aggression levels, the manner in whi...

The influence of gummy sharks, Mustelus antarcticus, on observed fish assemblage structure
Large predatory fish that alter the behaviour of smaller species may affect visual estimates of abundance by making organisms more or less difficult to observe and quantify. To evaluate the non-consumptive inf...

Does spawning behavior minimize exposure to environmental stressors for encapsulated gastropod embryos on rocky shores?
Adults of motile intertidal invertebrates are able to seek shelter to avoid environmental stress associated with low tides, but embryos within egg masses are effectively sessile for the duration of their encap...

UV-Induced Mortality in Encapsulated Intertidal Embryos: Are Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids an Effective Sunscreen?
Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are believed to protect a variety of marine organisms against the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR). However, their role in protecting develo** intertidal en...

A Quantitative Survey of Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids (MAAS) in Intertidal Egg Masses from Temperate Rocky Shores
Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) have been reported as functional chemical sunscreens in a variety of marine organisms, but their role in development of marine embryos and larvae remains largely unexplored....

Responses of common SE Australian herbivores to three suspected invasive Caulerpa spp.
We sought to determine whether common intertidal and shallow subtidal zone grazers would consume extracts or fronds of three invasive Caulerpa spp., all of which are now resident in southern New South Wales, Aust...

Influence of elevated CO2 and ultraviolet-B radiation levels on floral nectar production: a nectary-morphological perspective
Investigations of the effects of two global events – elevated CO2 levels and enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation – on floral nectar production are reviewed from twelve dicotyledonous families. Furthermore, t...

Visibility with Multiple Reflections
We show that the region lit by a point light source inside a simple n -gon after at most k reflections off the boundary has combinatorial complexity O(n 2k ) , for any k≥ 1 ....

Visibility with One Reflection
We extend the concept of the polygon visible from a source point S in a simple polygon by considering visibility with two types of reflection, specular and diffuse. In specular reflection a light ray reflects ...

Genetic evidence for contrasting patterns of dispersal in solitary and colonial ascidians
In situ and in vitro observations indicate that brooding colonial ascidians commonly display limited larval dispersal, whilst the larvae of most solitary species are assumed to be widely dispersed. We used al...

Association among ascidians: facilitation of recruitment inPyura spinifera
Subtidal benthic communities on hard substrata are usually characterised by intense competition for space; neighbouring organisms are generally viewed as a threat to the maintenance of this limited resource. H...

The modified stomata of the floral nectary ofVicia faba L. 1. Development, anatomy and ultrastructure
This study of the floral nectary ofVicia faba L. focusses on the modified stomata through which nectar flows, and on the question of whether they can regulate their stomatal pore aperture. The floral nectary ofV....
