Negri AP, Soo R, Flores F and Webster NS (2009) Bacillus insecticides are not acutely harmful to corals and sponges. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 381: 157-165.

Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive bacterium that produces crystalline endotoxins and is widely considered an environmentally safe insecticide to control mosquitoes and a number of agriculture pests. Bacteria closely ...
Vigliola L and Meekan MG (2009) The back-calculation of fish growth from otoliths. pp. 174-211. In: Green BS, Mapstone BD, Carlos G and Begg GA Tropical Fish Otoliths: Information for Assessment, Management and Ecology. Springer. 313 p.
Ferrari MCO, McCormick MI, Meekan MG, Chivers DP (2015) Background level of risk and the survival of predator-naive prey: can neophobia compensate for predator naivety in juvenile coral reef fishes? Proceedings of the Royal Society B 282 (1804): 20142197

Neophobia-the generalized fear response to novel stimuli-provides the first potential strategy that predator-naive prey may use to survive initial predator encounters. This phenotype appears to be highly plastic and present ...
Nelson TM, Streten C, Gibb KS, Chariton AA (2018) Bacteria in tropical floodplain soils are sensitive to changes in saltwater. Marine and Freshwater Research 69: 1110-1123

Bacterial communities in floodplain and wetland soils cycle elements essential for flora and fauna. The coastal habitats of northern Australia are threatened with increasing saltwater intrusion (SWI) events that will destroy ...
Wilson BR, Aeby GS, Work TM and Bourne DG (2012) Bacterial communities associated with healthy and Acropora white syndrome-affected corals from American Samoa. FEMS Microbiology Ecology. 80: 509-520.

Acropora white syndrome (AWS) is characterized by rapid tissue loss revealing the white underlying skeleton and affects corals worldwide; however, reports of causal agents are conflicting. Samples were collected from healthy ...
Uthicke S and McGuire K (2007) Bacterial communities in Great Barrier Reef calcareous sediments: Contrasting 16S rDNA libraries from nearshore and outer shelf reefs. Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science. 72: 188-200.

Bacterial communities in eight 16S rDNA clone libraries from calcareous sediments were investigated to provide an assessment of the bacterial diversity on sediments of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and to investigate ...
Littman R, Willis BL and Bourne DG (2009) Bacterial communities of juvenile corals infected with different Symbiodinium (dinoflagellate) clades. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 389: 45-59.

The coral holobiont consists of the host and its microbial partners, including the dinoflagellate endosymbiont Symbiodinium and bacteria living both on and within coral tissues. Although genetically different, Symbiodinium ...
Albinsson ME, Negri AP, Blackburn SI, Bolch CJS (2014) Bacterial community affects toxin production by Gymnodinium catenatum. PLoS ONE 9(8): e104623.

The paralytic shellfish toxin (PST)-producing dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum grows in association with a complex marine bacterial community that is both essential for growth and can alter culture growth dynamics. ...
Webster NS, Cobb RE, Soo R, Anthony SL, Battershill CN, Whalan S and Evans-Illidge EA (2011) Bacterial community dynamics in the marine sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile under in situ and ex situ cultivation. Marine Biotechnology. 13: 296-304.

Cultivation of sponges is being explored to supply biomaterial for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. This study assesses the impact of various cultivation methods on the microbial community within the sponge ...
Webster NS and Bourne DG (2007) Bacterial community structure associated with the Antarctic soft coral, Alcyonium antarcticum. FEMS Microbiology Ecology. 59: 81-94.

The structure and composition of microbial communities inhabiting the soft coral Alcyonium antarcticum were investigated across three differentially contaminated sites within McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Diverse microbial ...
Franklin M, McDonald IR, Bourne DG, Owens NJP, Upstill-goddard RC and Murrell JC (2005) Bacterial diversity in the bacterioneuston (sea surface microlayer): the bacterioneuston through the looking glass. Environmental Microbiology. 7: 723-736.
Alongi DM (1990) Bacterial growth rates, production and estimates of detrial carbon utilization in deep-sea sediments of the Solomon and Coral Seas. Deep-Sea Research. 37: 731-746.
Hansen JA and Alongi DM (1991) Bacterial productivity and benthic standing stocks in a tropical coastal embayment. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 68: 301-310.

Variations in bacterial productivity and microbial and meiofaunal standing stocks were examined in mud, muddy sand and sand sediments of a tropical shallow coastal embayment (Bowling Green Bay) in northeastern Australia. ...
Alongi DM (1988) Bacterial productivity and microbial biomass in tropical mangrove sediments. Microbial Ecology. 15: 59-79.
Moriarty DJ, Pollard PC, Alongi DM, Wilkinson CR and Gray JS (1985) Bacterial productivity and trophic relationships with consumers on a coral reef (MECOR I). 3: 457-462. Proceedings of the 5th International Coral Reef Congress, Tahiti, 27 May-1 June 1985. Antenne Museum-Ephe
Morrow KM, Liles MR, Paul VJ, Moss AG, Chadwick NE (2013) Bacterial shifts associated with coral-macroalgal competition in the Caribbean Sea. Marine Ecology Progress Series 488: 103-117

Present-day coral reefs are impacted by frequent disturbance and increasing global stressors, which provide an environment that supports the growth of alternative dominants, such as macroalgae, sponges, and tunicates, ...
Harvey ES, Cappo MC, Butler J, Hall N and Kendrick GA (2007) Bait attraction affects the performance of remote underwater video stations in assessment of demersal fish community structure. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 350: 245-254.

Discriminating marine fish assemblages at broad scales can be difficult because of heterogeneity within their habitats, variability in patterns of behaviour and abundance of fish between habitats, and sampling biases in ...
