10 novel, polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from herbicide-bleached tissues of the brooding pocilloporid coral Seriatopora hystrix from the Great Barrier Reef.... -
Comparative sensitivity of the early life stages of a coral to heavy fuel...
This collection consists of a series of data sets assessing the sensitivity of pre-settlement life stages of the coral Acropora millepora to the dissolved fractions of heavy... -
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... -

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... -
