Background: Rising sea temperatures are causing significant destruction to coral reef ecosystems due to coral mortality from thermally-induced bleaching (loss of symbiotic algae and/or their photosynthetic pigments). ...
Two commercially valuable holothurians, the sandfish and golden sandfish, vary in colour and have a confused taxonomy, lending uncertainty to species identifications. A recent molecular study showed that the putative variety ...
We report for the first time butyltin contamination of near-shore sediments at six sites in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. A very high concentration of 2290 mug Sn kg(-1) sediment was recorded in one sample. The most likely ...
Remote marine environments Such as many parts of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and the Antarctic are often assumed to be among the most pristine natural habitats. While distance protects them from many sources of pollution, ...
The ability to understand the functioning of ecosystems requires an understanding of the role individual or groups of species play within that environment. Defining ecological roles is challenging in complex ecosystems ...
Data from real-time sensor networks along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) over the 2015-2016 austral summer showed that reef water temperatures exceeded empirical coral bleaching thresholds at a number of sites. Temperatures ...
