-
Hybridisation between coral species clearly occurs in vitro , but the evolutionary significance of this cross-fertility is still the subject of much debate. Compelling genetic and reproductive evidence support introgressive ...
-
The quantification of physiological and biochemical parameters in coral branches require normalization to a stable factor, such as the tissue biomass or surface area. Three dimensional (3D) animation software (Gmax (R)) ...
-
Diseases are an emerging threat to ocean ecosystems. Coral reefs, in particular, are experiencing a worldwide decline because of disease and bleaching, which have been exacerbated by rising seawater temperatures. Yet, the ...
-
Echinoderms play a key role in structuring many marine ecosystems and are notorious for large population density variations in so-called "outbreak'' or "dieoff'' events. In a review of this phenomenon, we assess the causal ...
-
Entrainment of growth patterns of multiple species to single climatic drivers can lower ecosystem resilience and increase the risk of species extinction during stressful climatic events. However, predictions of the effects ...
-
Coral reefs are biologically diverse ecosystems threatened with effective collapse under rapid climate change, in particular by recent increases in ocean temperatures. Coral bleaching has occurred during major El Nino ...
-
Chronic toxicity test methods for assessing the toxicity of contaminants to tropical marine organisms are generally lacking. A 96-h chronic growth rate toxicity test was developed for the larval stage of the tropical ...
-
A cladistic analysis of sixty erythracarine species is presented and used to justify recent nomenclatorial changes to the classification of erythracarine genera. Erythracarinae is redescribed, and a new diagnosis for the ...
-
The colorimetric detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was achieved using photochromic compounds. This technique exploits the ability of the photochromic compound to reversibly change from a colourless to a ...
-
The symbiosis between reef-building corals and their algal endosymbionts (zooxanthellae of the genus Symbiodinium) is highly sensitive to temperature stress, which makes coral reefs vulnerable to climate change. Thermal ...
-
Understanding how marine species use their environment has become increasingly important in management and conservation. Acoustic monitoring allows long-term tracking of marine animal movement that is traditionally analysed ...
-
Light traps were deployed in two sampling programs. In the first, small and large traps were released to drift with the current at stations along a cross-shelf transect on the NW Shelf off the coast of Western Australia. ...
-
The faunal composition of an extensive area (10,000 km(2)) closed to trawling in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Australia was compared with that in two adjacent areas open to fishing. Sampling was undertaken over 2 ...
-
Ecological processes in the deep sea are poorly understood due to the logistical constraints of sampling thousands of metres below the ocean's surface and remote from most land masses. Under such circumstances, genetic ...
-
An existing method for cold vapour generation and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICPAES) has been extended to enable the determination of mercury concentrations in solutions by inductively coupled ...
-
Boldness is the propensity of an animal to engage in risky behavior. Many variations of novel-object or novel-environment tests have been used to quantify the boldness of animals, although the relationship between test ...
-
Detailed mapping of coral bleaching events provides an opportunity to examine spatial patterns in bleaching over scales of 10 s to 1,000 s of km and the spatial correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and bleaching. ...
-
Underwater tests using plastic silhouettes of fish were used to compare the accuracy and precision of measurements made with a single video camera system to those made from live, stereo-video systems (one using digital ...
-
During the reproductive season, sea turtles use a restricted area in the vicinity of their nesting beaches, making them vulnerable to predation. At Raine Island (Australia), the highest density green turtle Chelonia mydas ...
-
Lipids are involved in a host of biochemical and physiological processes in corals. Therefore, changes in lipid composition reflect changes in the ecology, nutrition, and health of corals. As such, accurate lipid extraction, ...
