Lipophrys pholis is larger, grows faster and is in better condition in protected than in unprotected rocky shores (2024)
Journal Article
Compaire, J. C., Visintini, N., Soriguer, M. C., Johnson, M. L., Hull, S. L., & Barrett, C. J. (2024). Lipophrys pholis is larger, grows faster and is in better condition in protected than in unprotected rocky shores. Aquatic conservation : marine and freshwater ecosystems, 34(2), Article e4083. https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.4083

Intertidal fish are a key component of littoral food webs, contributing to the diets of birds and commercial fish species. Ascertaining their growth and condition can therefore help understand the health status of local communities. Lipophrys pholis...

Carbon and Lipid Contents of the Copepod Calanus finmarchicus Entering Diapause in the Fram Strait and Their Contribution to the Boreal and Arctic Lipid Pump (2022)
Journal Article
Tarling, G. A., Belcher, A., Blackwell, M., Castellani, C., Cook, K. B., Cottier, F. R., …Wootton, M. (2022). Carbon and Lipid Contents of the Copepod Calanus finmarchicus Entering Diapause in the Fram Strait and Their Contribution to the Boreal and Arctic Lipid Pump. Frontiers in Marine Science, 9, Article 926462. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2022.926462

The boreal copepod Calanus finmarchicus sequesters substantial amounts of carbon (C) in the deep layers of the North Atlantic Ocean through their contribution to the “lipid pump.” This pump is driven by these zooplankton descending from the surface l...

Can a key boreal Calanus copepod species now complete its life-cycle in the Arctic? Evidence and implications for Arctic food-webs (2021)
Journal Article
Tarling, G. A., Freer, J. J., Banas, N. S., Belcher, A., Blackwell, M., Castellani, C., …Wootton, M. (2022). Can a key boreal Calanus copepod species now complete its life-cycle in the Arctic?

The changing Arctic environment is affecting zooplankton that support its abundant wildlife. We examined how these changes are influencing a key zooplankton species, Calanus finmarchicus, principally found in the North Atlantic but expatriated to the...

Moving Toward a Strategy for Addressing Climate Displacement of Marine Resources: A Proof-of-Concept (2020)
Journal Article
Mangano, M. C., Mieszkowska, N., Helmuth, B., Domingos, T., Sousa, T., Baiamonte, G., …Sarà, G. (2020). Moving Toward a Strategy for Addressing Climate Displacement of Marine Resources: A Proof-of-Concept. Frontiers in Marine Science, 7, Article 408. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2020.00408

Realistic predictions of climate change effects on natural resources are central to adaptation policies that try to reduce these impacts. However, most current forecasting approaches do not incorporate species-specific, process-based biological infor...

Converting SACFOR data for statistical analysis: Validation, demonstration and further possibilities (2020)
Journal Article
Strong, J. A., & Johnson, M. (2020). Converting SACFOR data for statistical analysis: Validation, demonstration and further possibilities. Marine Biodiversity Records, 13(1), Article 2. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41200-020-0184-3

© 2020 The Author(s). Background: the context and purpose of the study: Semi-quantitative scales are often used for the rapid assessment of species composition and abundance during time-limited surveys. The semi-quantitative SACFOR abundance scale wa... Read More about Converting SACFOR data for statistical analysis: Validation, demonstration and further possibilities.

Home-made fish traps reduce the capture of small shannies (Lipophrys pholis) compared to using hand-nets in the UK (2020)
Journal Article
Barrett, C. J., Johnson, M. L., & Hull, S. L. (2020). Home-made fish traps reduce the capture of small shannies (Lipophrys pholis) compared to using hand-nets in the UK. Conservation Evidence Journal, 17, 32-34

A replicated, controlled study in 2011-2012 found that using home-made fish traps reduced the capture of unwanted, small shannies Lipophrys pholis compared to using conventional hand-nets in intertidal habitats.

Journal Article
Roach, M., Cohen, M., Forster, R., Revill, A. S., & Johnson, M. (2018). The effects of temporary exclusion of activity due to wind farm construction on a lobster (Homarus gammarus) fishery suggests a potential management approach. ICES journal of marine science : journal du conseil, 75(4), 1416-1426. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsy006

Offshore wind farms form an important part of many countries strategy for responding to the threat of climate change but their development can conflict with other offshore activities. Static gear fisheries targeting sedentary benthic species are par...
