Walker GS, Ridd MJ and Brunskill GJ (1996) A comparison of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for determination of mercury in Great Barrier Reef sediments. Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry. 10: 96-99.

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 ...
White JR, Meekan MG, McCormick MI, Ferrari MCO (2013) A comparison of measures of boldness and their relationships to survival in young fish. PLoS ONE 8(7): e68900

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. ...
Harvey ES, Shortis M, Stadler M and Cappo MC (2002) A comparison of the accuracy and precision of measurements from single and stereo-video systems. Marine Technology Society Journal. 36: 38-49.

Fitzpatrick R, Thums M, Bell I, Meekan MG, Stevens JD and Barnett A (2012) A comparison of the seasonal movements of tiger sharks and green turtles provides insight into their predator-prey relationship. PLoS ONE. 7: e51927.

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 ...
Conlan JA, Rocker MM, Francis DS (2017) A comparison of two common sample preparation techniques for lipid and fatty acid analysis in three different coral morphotypes reveals quantitative and qualitative differences. PeerJ 5: e3645

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, ...
Webster NS, Pantile R, Botte E, Abdo D, Andreakis N, Whalan S (2013) A complex life cycle in a warming planet: gene expression in thermally stressed sponges. Molecular Ecology 22(7): 1854-1868

Sponges are abundant, diverse and functionally important components of aquatic biotopes with crucial associations for many reef fish and invertebrates. Sponges have strict temperature optima, and mass mortality events have ...
Tebben J, Motti C, Tapiolas D, Thomas-Hall P, Harder T (2014) A coralline algal-associated Bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas strain J010, yields five new korormicins and a bromopyrrol. Marine Drugs 12(5): 2082-2815

The ethanol extract of Pseudoalteromonas strain J010, isolated from the surface of the crustose coralline alga Neogoniolithon fosliei, yielded thirteen natural products. These included a new bromopyrrole, 4'-((3,4,5-trib ...
Evans S and Abdo D (2010) A cost-effective technique for measuring relative water movement for studies of benthic organisms. Marine and Freshwater Research. 61: 1327-1335.

Because water movement has been shown to affect the structure and community composition of the marine environment, the ability to monitor and record water movement is important in marine research. The present study describes ...
Wenger AS, Harvey E, Wilson S, Rawson C, Newman SJ, Clarke D, Saunders BJ, Browne N, Travers MJ, Mcilwain JL, Erftemeijer PLA, Hobbs JPA, Mclean D, Depczynski M, Evans RD (2017) A critical analysis of the direct effects of dredging on fish. Fish and Fisheries 18: 967-985

Dredging can have significant impacts on aquatic environments, but the direct effects on fish have not been critically evaluated. Here, a meta-analysis following a conservative approach is used to understand how dredging-related ...
Lewis SE, Lough JM, Cantin NE, Matson EG, Kinsley L, Bainbridge ZT, Brodie JE (2018) A critical evaluation of coral Ba/Ca, Mn/Ca and Y/Ca ratios as indicators of terrestrial input: New data from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA - vol 237 - pages 131-154

Coral trace element proxies of terrestrial runoff are widely applied to document and quantify historical changes in river discharge, constituent loads and land disturbance. However, some studies show poor replication between ...
Davies CH, Ajani P, Armbrecht L, Atkins N, Baird ME, Beard J, Bonham P, Burford M, Clementson L, Coad P, Crawford C, Dela-Cruz J, Doblin MA, Edgar S, Eriksen R, Everett JD, Furnas M, Harrison DP, Hassler C, Henschke N, Hoenner X, Ingleton T, Jameson I, Keesing J, Leterme SC, McLaughlin MJ, Miller M, Moffatt D, Moss A, Nayar S, Patten NL, Patten R, Pausina SA, Proctor R, Raes E, Robb M, Rothlisberg P, Saeck EA, Scanes P, Suthers IM, Swadling KM, Talbot S, Thompson P, Thomson PG, Uribe-Palomino J, van Ruth P, Waite AM, Wright S, Richardson AJ (2018) A database of chlorophyll a in Australian waters. Scientific Data 5: 180018

Chlorophyll a is the most commonly used indicator of phytoplankton biomass in the marine environment. It is relatively simple and cost effective to measure when compared to phytoplankton abundance and is thus routinely ...
