Open AccessVertical Accretion Trends in Australian Tidal Wetlands
Australian tidal wetlands differ in important respects to better studied northern hemisphere systems, an artefact stable to falling sea levels over millennia. A network of Surface Elevation Table-Marker Horizo...

Open AccessNZTD - The New Zealand Trait Database for shallow-water marine benthic invertebrates
Macrobenthic traits, for example feeding mode, life history, morphology, are increasingly used for determining responses of macrobenthic fauna to environmental change and influences on ecosystem functioning. Y...

Open AccessMulti-scale map** of Australia’s terrestrial and blue carbon stocks and their continental and bioregional drivers
The soil in terrestrial and coastal blue carbon ecosystems is an important carbon sink. National carbon inventories require accurate assessments of soil carbon in these ecosystems to aid conservation, preserva...

Seasonal variation of food and feeding in burrowing goby Parapocryptes serperaster (Gobiidae) at different body sizes
Diet composition and feeding habits of the burrowing fish Parapocryptes serperaster were investigated on different fish sizes across dry and wet seasons in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The gut length was positively...

Reproductive biology of the burrow dwelling goby Parapocryptes serperaster
The goby Parapocryptes serperaster is a bottom dweller fish widely distributed in monsoonal regions in Asia, but its reproductive biology is poorly understood. This study assessed important variables associated w...

Morphometric variation of Parapocryptes serperaster (Gobiidae) in dry and wet seasons in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Parapocryptes serperaster is a bottom-dwelling goby species widely distributed throughout monsoonal regions in Asia. A year-round study (2013–2014) on the length–weight relationship and b...

Burrow morphology and utilization of the goby (Parapocryptes serperaster) in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Some fish species living in mudflats construct burrows for dwelling and hiding. The goby Parapocryptes serperaster is a burrowing fish in mudflats of many estuaries in South East Asia. This study was carried out ...

Temporal variation in feeding behaviour and trophic ecology of the temperate hemiramphid, Hyporhamphus melanochir
The feeding ecology of southern garfish, Hyporhamphus melanochir, in South Australia was investigated to determine the dietary composition and diurnal feeding patterns, especially in relation to a hypothesised re...

Mytilid mussels: global habitat engineers in coastal sediments
Dense beds of mussels of the family Mytilidae occur worldwide on soft-bottoms in cold and warm temperate coastal waters and have usually been considered hot spots of biodiversity. We examined intertidal mussel...

Population dynamics of the invasive Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas during the early stages of an outbreak in the Wadden Sea (Germany)
Since the late 1990s, the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) has spread into the East Frisian Wadden Sea (Germany). This invasion provided an opportunity to study the population dynamics and the patterns of sprea...

Community dynamics of intertidal soft-bottom mussel beds over two decades
Macrozoobenthos communities in the North Sea showed pronounced changes over the past decade in relation to an increasing number of invasive species and climate change. We analysed data sets spanning 22 years o...

Benthic fauna in tropical tidal flats of Hinchinbrook Channel, NE Australia: diversity, abundance and their spatial and temporal variation
A survey of the benthic infauna (macro- and mesofauna) in tidalflats of Hinchinbrook Channel, north-east Australia, was carried out toassess the species diversity and individual abundances as well as theirtemp...

Benthic fauna in tropical tidal flats – a comparative perspective
Tidal flats extend seaward from mangrove forests along many tropicalcoastlines. This contribution compiles the current knowledge on tropicaltidal flats with regard to species richness, abundance, spatial distr...

Assessing Stability Properties: How Suitable is this Approach for Ecosystem Research in the Wadden Sea?
With stability properties as the conceptual framework to study processes in the Wadden Sea ecosystem, attention was focused on qualitative aspects. The relationships between the approach of ELAWAT and historic...

Protection of Processes in the Wadden Sea
The protection of processes has been proclaimed both on a national level in the National Park declarations for the Wadden Sea and on an international level by the 6th Trilateral Governmental Conference. This a...

ELAWAT: Goals and Conceptual Framework
The “Ecosystem Research Wadden Sea” consisted of four large joint projects carried out since 1989 on the southern North Sea coast of Germany. The projects had two major goals which were closely related. One wa...

Spatial and Temporal Distribution Patterns and Their Underlying Causes
Temporal developments of dissolved nutrients, phytoplankton and zooplankton in the water column were investigated on different time scales from 1994 to 1996. Measurements of single tidal cycles allowed to asse...

Stability Properties in the Wadden Sea
To achieve an understanding of the processes and mechanisms responsible for the reaction of the components of the Wadden Sea to disturbances, an attempt is made to assess the stability properties of the compon...

Recolonization of Tidal Flats After Disturbance
The benthic recolonization of experimentally disturbed sandflat sites by diatoms, nematodes and small macrofauna was studied with several treatments, differing in intensity and timing of disturbance. Furthermo...
