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... -
Relative effects of sea urchins and fish on adult and recruiting macroalgae...
An experiment was conducted over 13 months to test whether sea urchins and herbivorous fishes exert additive effects on the macroalgal assemblage. Specific predictions were that... -
Population dynamics of the infaunal bivalve, Soletellina alba
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... -
Effects of introduced sessile invertebrates: removal experiments.
Three removal experiments were conducted to test the effects of the introduced species, Bugula neritina, Ascidiella aspersa and Botryllus schlosseri on sessile invertebrate... -

Substantial asexual recruitment of mushroom corals contributes little to...
The contribution of asexual versus sexual recruitment to populations of the mushroom coral Fungia fungites was investigated at 2 sites with contrasting sediment regimes, located... -
Competitive interactions in the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
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... -
