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... -
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... -
Variation in the size and shape of limpets (Siphonaria diemenensis) on a...
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
This study examined differences in the size and shape of Siphonaria diemenensis in the high and low intertidal zones on a rocky shore in Western Port Bay, Victoria. The... -
The feeding ecology of the intertidal limpet, Siphonaria diemenensis at...
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
This study was conducted from December 1979 to December 1981 to determine the diet of Siphonaria diemenensis in the high and low intertidal zone on the rocky shore at Griffith... -
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... -
Laboratory experiment measuring expected drag forces on limpets
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
The expected drag forces that the average sized limpets were exposed to in the high and low intertidal zones at Griffith Point, Victoria were estimated in a continuously... -

The population biology of the small predatory thaid gastropod Lepsiella vinosa was investigated on the rocky shore surrounding West Head, Western Port Bay, Victoria from June... -
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... -
