This paper describes the ontogeny and morphogenesis of the eastern rainbowfish, Melanotaenia splendida splendida, including details on reproduction and the conditions required for laboratory breeding and rearing. M. s. ...
A method of preparing and interpreting the microstructure of otoliths of the eastern rainbowfish, Melanotaenia splendida splendida, was developed and used to validate the periodicity of increment formation. Otoliths were ...
1] The clinoform complex of the Gulf of Papua represents a major deltaic system in Oceania. Two seasons largely control seafloor dynamics and sedimentary C cycling: the relatively quiescent NW monsoon, and the SE trades, ...
Experiments were conducted in an outdoor facility to quantify growth responses of six mangrove species to rates of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus supply mimicking the range of N and P mineralization rates in ...
The evolution of industrial-era warming across the continents and oceans provides a context for future climate change and is important for determining climate sensitivity and the processes that control regional warming. ...
Background: Changes to the environment as a result of human activities can result in a range of impacts on reef building corals that include coral bleaching (reduced concentrations of algal symbionts), decreased coral ...
Coral recovery (the restoration of abundance and composition of coral communities) after disturbance is a key process that determines the resilience of reef ecosystems. To understand the mechanisms underlying the recovery ...
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations will significantly reduce ocean pH during the 21st century (ocean acidification, OA). This may hamper calcification in marine organisms such as corals and echinoderms, as shown in many ...
Ecological Engineering (or Ecoengineering) is increasingly used in estuaries to re-create and restore ecosystems degraded by human activities, including reduced water flow or land poldered for agricultural use. Here we ...
