The inshore reefs of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have undergone significant declines in water quality following European settlement (approx. 1870 AD). However, direct evidence of impacts on coral assemblages is limited ...
Massive, long-lived corals in inshore waters of the Great Barrier Reef contain yellow-green fluorescent bands. These bands are due to terrestrial humic and fulvic compounds incorporated into the coral skeleton during high ...
The closed-cycle rearing of palinurid lobsters in commercially relevant quantities currently represents one of the most difficult challenges facing modern-day aquaculture. The length and complexity of the larval life cycle ...
There are at least 40,000 species of microalgae in the aquatic environment. Fifteen species of marine dinoflagellates and freshwater cyanobacteria are known to produce paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and represent a ...
The tropics possess some of the world's richest marine environments, most notably coral reefs. Concealed within these ecosystems are a group of potent neurotoxins called the paralytic shellfish toxins ( PSTs), the most ...
Mutualisms are pivotal in shaping ecological communities. Iconic images of cleaner fish entering the mouths of predatory fish clients to remove ectoparasites epitomize their mutual benefit. Experimental manipulations of ...
Successful invasions are largely explained by some combination of enemy release, where the invader escapes its natural enemies from its native range, and low biotic resistance, where native species in the introduced range ...
A total of 52 sailfish Istiophorus platypterus from Queensland (Australia) coastal waters were examined for parasites which might provide information on the relationships and movements of fish from different areas. Sailfish ...
