Temperate Australian quantitative spatial and temporal abundance data for...
The data is quantitative abundance of fish and megafaunal invertebrates and algal % cover derived from transect based counts at a wide range of locations across Temperate... -
Management options to minimise formation of urchin barrens: kelp lines -...
Linear video transects (40m total length; 20m into barrens and 20m into kelp from original fixed marker on the benthos) were used to assess changes in kelp growth in several... -
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... -
Effects of periodic trampling on the abundance of mobile animals within...
This study assesses the effects of trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal algal beds within Point Nepean National Park over six summers between 1991 and 1996.... -
Effects of periodic trampling on rocky intertidal algal beds: Hormosira banksii cover
This study examines the effects of trampling on rocky intertidal platforms dominated by the brown algae Hormosira banksii. This dataset gives the percent cover of Hormosira... -
Marine algal culture collection
This dataset provides details of over 1700 marine algal samples collected throughout the world between 1964 and 2010. The algal samples are kept in laboratory cultures at the... -
Inter-species differences in trophic position and diet of three sympatric...
Measurements of natural abundances of stable isotopes and direct observation of gut contents were used to determine the trophic positions of three sympatric sea urchin species.... -
Effect of Heliocidaris erythrogramma on benthic macroalgae and drift retention
Two experiments were performed. The first was designed to test for effects of Heliocidaris at different densities, using fenced plots in which the densities of Heliocidaris were... -
Macroalgal habitats of Cockatoo Island reef flat
Surveyed macroalgal habitats on the reef flat of Cockatoo Island by reefwalking and aerial imaging. -
Distribution and abundance of large invertebrate herbivores in south-western...
A three-pronged approach was taken to quantify patterns of abundance and coexistance at small (centimetres) to very large (hundreds of kilometres) spatial scales. This was... -
Algal culture medium
This resource provides instructions to prepare Modified Provasoli's Enriched Seawater (PES). The solution is suitable for growing marine algae under laboratory conditions. -
Historical effects of periodic trampling on the cover of Hormosira banksii
This study examines the effects of experimental trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal platforms within the Point Nepean National Park, Victoria between 1991... -
Recovery of algal communities from human disturbance
This data is from an experiment investigating the recovery of disturbed areas of Hormosira banskii. This experiment was done at 3 sites within Bunurong Marine Park from May 1990... -
Seagrass surveys of Exmouth Gulf
A preliminary survey of seagrass communities in Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, found very low abundances of seagrasses. This seems surprising given the abundance of seagrass... -
Reef Life Survey: Linking volunteer divers, scientists and managers in...
Reef Life Survey is a program that trains and assists a network of skilled and committed recreational divers to cost-effectively assess the state of the inshore marine... -
Interactions between sea urchins and macroalgae in SW Australia - Summary.
Data was collected to: - characterise the distributions and abundances of herbivorous invertebrates (mainly sea urchins) and examine their trophic positions and diets, and -... -
Effects of periodic trampling on the percentage cover of understory algae...
This study assesses the effects of trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal algal beds within Point Nepean National Park, Victoria, over six summers between...
