A tale of two reef systems: Local conditions, disturbances, coral life...
Long-term changes in benthic communities and habitat conditions were studied at Rowley Shoals and Scott reef systems. This collection includes data from surveys from the Long-... -
Survival, moulting and reproduction of the mangrove crab, Sesarma messa from...
Adults of the mangrove crab, Sesarma messa were captured using pit traps in a mid-intertidal Ceriops tagal stand located at Cape Ferguson, near Townsville. The crabs and... -
The behaviour of mixtures of paralytic shellfish toxins in receptor dependent assays
Using two unrelated STX-binding proteins (the rat brain Na channel and a saxiphilin from the xanthid crab Liomera tristis), this study experimentally validated the predicted... -
Davies Reef Deployments of the Wireless Sensor Network
Sensor network infrastructure was installed at Davies Reef in the central Great Barrier Reef off Townsville, Australia. The infrastructure consists of a base station mounted on... -
Changes in respiration and excretion rates of boreal zooplankton after...
The herbivorous copepods, Calanus plumchrus and Paracalanus parvus, the herbivorous euphausiid, Euphausia pacifica, the carnivorous amphipod, Parathemisto pacifica and the... -
Polymorphic microsatellite markers from the coral Seriatopora hystrix, from...
10 novel, polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from herbicide-bleached tissues of the brooding pocilloporid coral Seriatopora hystrix from the Great Barrier Reef.... -
Chemical oceanography sites (Western Australia)
The first oceanographic instruments were deployed in situ at Scott Reef and Rowley Shoals from 1993 to 2003. The measurements began at Scott Reef during July 1993. The full... -
Hermatypic corals of Ashmore Reef and Cartier Island, north-western Australia
In September 1986, the hermatypic corals at 20 sites at Ashmore Reef and 4 sites at Cartier Island were surveyed. Sites were selected to encompass the range of habitats... -
Factors affecting the distribution and abundance of Grapsid crabs in the...
Pitfall traps were used to sample crab populations at five sites along a 17km reach of the Murray River, Queensland in May 1987. Sites were located along a gradient in salinity... -
Molecular approach to biomedicinals from photosymbionts of marine invertebrates
A phylogenetic tree was generated that illustrates the affiliation of the partial 16S rRNA gene sequence from a clone of the uncultured cyanobacterium symbiont of the sponge... -
Surface scars on massive corals as evidence of previous crown-of-thorns...
In April 1985, massive corals on 5 mid-shelf reefs (Green Island, Feather Reef, John Brewer Reef, Rib Reef and Wheeler Reef) and 1 outer-shelf reef (Potter Reef) were surveyed... -
Population genetics and taxonomy of the green alga, Caulerpa from the...
Allozyme variation was examined in 7 species and 4 varieties of Caulerpa sampled from the central Great Barrier Reef region. The species examined were: Caulerpa racemosa, (vars... -
Experimental Evolution Of The Coral Algal Endosymbiont, Cladocopium Goreaui,...
An experiment was carried out to compare the performance of coral juveniles using cultured symbionts selected for enhanced tolerance in Cladocopium goreaui (C1) over multiple... -
Is predation of juvenile crown-of-thorns seastars (Acanthaster cf. solaris)...
Ten predation experiments were carried out examine whether predation of juvenile CoTS by peppermint shrimp (L. vittata) is affected by the age, size, or diet of juvenile CoTS.... -
Deposition, mineralization and storage of carbon and nitrogen in sediments,...
Data was collected in order to study the benthic metabolic rates and pathways of carbon and nitrogen cycling at shelf sites proximal to impacted catchments on the northern GBR... -
The relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera over time in core BAR...
The advent of deep-sea drilling in the 1950's prompted the use of planktonic foraminifera (unicellular protozans) as palaeoceanographic indicators. They provide a natural... -
Taking control of microplastics data: A comparison of control/blank data...
Establishing a robust strategy to account for unintended processing contamination in microplastics research is of interest to the microplastic community who are currently... -
Bathymetric adaptations of corals at Davies Reef, Great Barrier Reef: UV-B...
Corals were collected by scuba from depths between 1 and 45 m on the southeastern side of Davies Reef in October 1980 and February, July and December 1981 and the concentrations... -
Diversity of zooxanthellae in octocorals
146 samples belonging to 69 genera (114 species) from 20 families of octocorals were collected. Fresh octocoral samples were collected from the eastern Pacific coast during... -
Ocean temperatures over time estimated from planktonic foraminifera...
In recent years the term 'enhanced greenhouse effect' has become well known in modern society and yet aspects of this possible 'future climate' are poorly understood. The...
