Holocene evolution and accumulation rates for Rodrigues Fringing Reef in the...
Australian National University
Rodrigues is located at latitude 19°43' S and longitude 63°25' E in the Southwest Indian Ocean and features the best developed reefs in the Mascarenes. In 2001 a field... -
The use of claw colour and pattern for species recognition in the fiddler...
Australian National University
In the fiddler crab Uca mjoebergi, males attract females to their burrows by waving their enlarged yellow claw. Colour is clearly involved in species recognition in U.... -
Burrow tenure in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
Australian National University
Crabs sometimes vacate their territories due to continued harassment by their neighbours. To determine whether male-female pairs were longer lasting than male-male pairs, we... -
Ocean temperatures over time estimated from planktonic foraminifera...
Australian National University
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... -
The relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera over time in core MD...
Australian National University
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... -
Natural male-female interactions and territoriality in the fiddler crab Uca...
Australian National University
The behaviour of U. capricornis is not well-known. Consequently, observations were made for approximately 1100 hours over 4 seasons to obtain a general picture of their social... -
The age versus depth profile for core GC04, located off the coast of New Caledonia
Australian National University
Core GC04, was collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin (22.99965 S, 166.150716 E). The age of the sediment at each sample depth was determined by... -
Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time in...
Australian National University
The calcareous tests of Globigerina bulloides are analysed to quantify the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time at core site MD032607 (137.4065 E, 36.9606... -
Age vs. Depth of core BAR 9403 (located off the coast of Sumatra). Age has...
Australian National University
The age with depth of core BAR9403 is calculated through 18O values, which are then correlated with the SPECMAP age-model. Based upon these measurements the age at the deepest... -
Shell cross sections of the bivalve Crassostrea gigas collected from Little...
Australian National University
Petrological and some geochemical analysis methods require the sample to be made into a thin or thick section. This record provides a series of shell cross-sectional images and... -
The fiddler crab Uca mjoebergi uses colour vision in mate choice
Australian National University
The walking legs, carapaces and chelae of ocypodid crabs, particularly the well-studied fiddler crabs, are often brilliantly coloured. However, despite this array of colours... -
Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time in...
Australian National University
This short core obtained off Sumatra (BAR9403, 5.82 S, 104.0316 E) records the palaeoceanography from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the present day. The lightest 18O value... -
The percentage breakdown of carbonate/non-carbonate fractions in core GC04,...
Australian National University
Core GC04, was collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin (22.99965 S, 166.150716 E). Carbonate percent in the curve has an average value of ~79% and... -
Daily colour changes associated with the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis
Australian National University
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the daily colour changes in relation to the tidal cycle in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis. Experiments were conducted in the... -
Parent record: Datasets relating to core BAR9403 (off the coast of Sumatra)
Australian National University
We must understand the natural cycles of the oceans to understand the evolution of our climate through geological time. Core BAR 9403 was obtained in 1994 off the coast of... -
Sex ratio and distribution within a large population of the fiddler crab Uca...
Australian National University
The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether females may be a limited resource within a population of Uca capricornis. The experiment was part of a larger study... -
Parent record: Datasets relating to core MD002361 (shelf edge offshore...
Australian National University
We must understand the natural cycles of the oceans to understand the evolution of our climate through geological time. Core MD 002361 was obtained in 2000 off the coast of... -
Significance of Halimeda bioherms to the global carbonate budget based on a...
Australian National University
Since the correlation between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures was established in the ice core records, quantifying the components of the global carbon cycle has... -
Parent record: Datasets relating to core MD032607 (off South Australia)
Australian National University
We must understand the natural cycles of the oceans to understand the evolution of our climate through geological time. Core MD 032607 was obtained in 2003 off the coast of... -
Parent Record: Social monogamy in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
Australian National University
Fiddler crabs are not generally considered subjects for the study of monogamy as they tend to live in dense mixed sex colonies with numerous neighbours and individually defended...
