Low cost, simple approaches leading to enhanced numbers of viable, mature corals on reefs are prerequisite to active reef rehabilitation at even modest spatial scales. Mass culture of coral larvae to settlement, utilising ...
We investigated ecological, physiological, and skeletal characteristics of the calcifying green alga Halimeda grown at CO2 seeps (pH(total) similar to 7.8) and compared them to those at control reefs with ambient CO2 ...
Significant diurnal variation in seawater carbonate chemistry occurs naturally in many coral reef environments, yet little is known of its effect on coral calcification. Laboratory studies on the response of corals to ocean ...
The tetrahydro-beta-carboline, callophycin A (1), was isolated from the methanol extract of the red alga Callophycus oppositifolius collected from Pugh Shoal, north east of Truant Island, Northern Territory, Australia. The ...
Two three-month sampling programs measuring Cd in the environment and a biomonitor (Balanus amphitrite) were undertaken in the austral winter of 2002 and summer of 2004 in Ross Creek, North Queensland, Australia. The ...
Context. The conservation status of the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, remains uncertain. Throughout their range, whale sharks are a focus for wildlife tourism and many identification photographs taken by tourists have ...
The widespread decline of coral reefs requires integrated management measures across whole regions. Knowledge of demographic processes of reef organisms is important for informed management, yet current techniques for ...
Sponges play a vital role in the world's most complex and vulnerable marine ecosystems. Various in situ studies have suggested that sponge morphologies (developed from exposure to a range of biophysical factors) can be ...
Fractionation of cytotoxic extracts of specimens of a newly described sponge genus, Candidaspongia, has yielded the candidaspongiolides (3), a complex mixture of acyl esters of a macrolide related to tedanolide. The general ...
Leaf area index (LAI) and seasonal patterns of litter fall, leaf production and seed (propagule) production were measured in monocultures of the mangrove Rhizophora apiculata aged from 6 to 36 years in Ca Mau Province, ...
