Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DEWLP), Victorian Government
Sabella spallanzanii is an introduced sabellid ploychaete that is thought to be native to the Mediterranean and east Atlantic coast. Since its first identification in Port... -
The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine...
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
Patterns of establishment and subsequent change in the structure of a marine...
College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
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... -
Effects of introduced sessile invertebrates: removal experiments.
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
Three removal experiments were conducted to test the effects of the introduced species, Bugula neritina, Ascidiella aspersa and Botryllus schlosseri on sessile invertebrate... -
Patterns of recruitment of epifaunal species at Portsea, Victoria.
College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
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... -
Effects of predation by fishes on the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
Exclusions were attached to artificial substrata to investigate the relative effects of predation on the development of epifaunal communities at Portsea. Exclusions were black... -
Patterns of development in the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
This experiment examined the temporal changes in species composition and diversity of a developing epifaunal community on artificial substrata at Portsea. The substrata used... -
The importance of predation in shaping marine sessile communities at...
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
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... -

Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
Ecological effects of introduced sessile marine invertebrates.
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
Manipulative field experiments were used to investigate the effects of the ascidians Botryllus schlosseri and Ascidiella aspersa and the bryozoan Bugula neritina on sessile... -
Effects of introduced species on the recruitment of sessile invertebrates.
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
This experiment was conducted to determine if an established Botryllus schlosseri colony affected the recruitment of sessile invertebrates. Small perspex plates that had been in... -
The effects of copper antifouling paints and marinas on the ecology of...
Department of Infrastructure Engineering, The University of Melbourne
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... -
Long term studies of population and community structure on intertidal rock...
School of Animal Biology (SAB), The University of Western Australia (UWA)
Data has been collected on the patterns of distribution and abundance, recruitment, survival and growth of macroinvertebrate fauna on the rocky intertidal shores at Rottnest... -
Comparing the effects of an introduced and native species of bryozoan
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
An experiment was conducted to compare the effects of the introduced bryozoan, Bugula neritina, and the native bryozoan, Bugula dentata, on sessile invertebrate assemblages.... -
Population dynamics of the infaunal bivalve, Soletellina alba
School of Life and Environmental Sciences (LES), Deakin University
The population dynamics of the infaunal bivalve Soletellina alba were investigated at three sites situated in close proximity to the mouth of the Hopkins River estuary from 1997... -
Competitive interactions in the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
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... -
Reproduction of Holothuria whitmaei (sea cucumber) in the Indian and Pacific...
Seasonal trends in the gonad index (GI) of two widely separated populations of black teatfish, Holothuria whitmaei (Bell, 1887), were investigated between Pacific (Great Barrier...
