Predation on newly settled individuals has been shown to shape sessile invertebrate communities of the northeast coast of North America. This study tests if this response can...

This thesis has used a field based approach to assess the effects of copper liberated from antifouling paints on sessile epifaunal (or fouling) assemblages in southeastern...

During June 1983, the abundance and diversity of zooplankton were sampled at a series of locations though Shark Bay, Western Australia. High-salinity experiments were also...

In colonial organisms, physical damage or predation can result in the loss of part of the colony. Although the colony may survive, the loss of part of the colony may alter...

This study investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of recruitment of epifaunal species at Portsea. Recruitment panels were immersed at depths of 1 - 2.2 metres for 10...

Artificial substrata were used to investigate the patterns of establishment and change in the structure of a subtidal, marine epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria from...

This experiment examined the temporal changes in species composition and diversity of a developing epifaunal community on artificial substrata at Portsea. The substrata used...

Exclusions were attached to artificial substrata to investigate the relative effects of predation on the development of epifaunal communities at Portsea. Exclusions were black...

The resource provides information on the rates of growth, competitive ability and life spans of species in the epifaunal community at Portsea. Estimates of rates of growth for...
