    Optimising DNA extraction from a critically endangered marine alga

    Prior to conducting genetic studies on critically endangered species, it is desirable to optimise DNA extraction to limit destructive sampling and reduce impacts on populations. We optimized DNA extraction for...

    Marine infrastructure supports abundant, diverse fish assemblages at the expense of beta diversity

    Anthropogenic structures are increasingly common in natural environments and present novel habitats for resident organisms. Marine breakwalls are similar to natural reefs in that they also provide habitat for ...

    Putative Predators of Carcinus Maenas in Eastern Australia

    Following the arrival of non-native species into suitable environments, interactions with native biota can influence non-native species proliferation and spread. The European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, is a glo...

    Restoring seaweeds: does the declining fucoid Phyllospora comosa support different biodiversity than other habitats?

    Degradation and loss of natural habitats due to human activities is a main cause of global biodiversity loss. In temperate systems, seaweeds are a main habitat former and support extremely diverse communities,...

    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...

    Bioerosion caused by foraging of the tropical chiton Acanthopleura gemmata at One Tree Reef, southern Great Barrier Reef

    The bioerosive potential of the intertidal chiton Acanthopleura gemmata on One Tree Reef was determined by quantification of CaCO3 in daily faecal pellet production of individuals transplanted into mesocosms afte...

    The role of colonization in determining spatial patterns of Proscoloplos bondi sp. nov. (Orbiniidae: Annelida) in coralline algal turf

    We describe Proscoloplos bondi sp. nov., a new species of orbinid polychaete found in coralline algal turf on rocky intertidal shores near Sydney, Australia. We used field sampling to describe P. bondi's patterns...

    Changes in habitat complexity negatively affect diverse gastropod assemblages in coralline algal turf

    The physical structure of a habitat generally has a strong influence on the diversity and abundance of associated organisms. I investigated the role of coralline algal turf structure in determining spatial var...
