Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article
Souza, I. D. C., Morozesk, M., Mansano, A. S., Mendes, V. A., Azevedo, V. C., Matsumoto, S. T., …Fernandes, M. N. (2021). Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems. The Science of the total environment, 753, Article 141976. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.141976

Air pollution legislation and control worldwide is based on the size of particulate matter (PM) to evaluate the effects on environmental and human health, in which the small diameter particles are considered more dangerous than larger sizes. This stu... Read More about Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems.

From DPSIR the DAPSI(W) R(M) Emerges… a Butterfly - ‘protecting the natural stuff and delivering the human stuff’ (2020)
Book Chapter
Elliott, M., & O’Higgins, T. G. (2020). From DPSIR the DAPSI(W) R(M) Emerges… a Butterfly - ‘protecting the natural stuff and delivering the human stuff’. In T. G. O’Higgins, M. Lago, & T. H. DeWitt (Eds.), Ecosystem-Based Management, Ecosystem Services and Aquatic Biodiversity (61-86). Cham: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-45843-0_4

The complexity of interactions and feedbacks between human activities and ecosystems can make the analysis of such social-ecological systems intractable. In order to provide a common means to understand and analyse the links between social and ecolog...

Feeding strategies and body condition of juvenile European flounder Platichthys flesus in a nursery habitat (2020)
Journal Article
Mendes, C., Ramos, S., Elliott, M., & Bordalo, A. A. (2020). Feeding strategies and body condition of juvenile European flounder Platichthys flesus in a nursery habitat. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 100(5), 795-806. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315420000600

Estuarine habitats are major nurseries for the European flounder Platichthys flesus, with different year classes sharing food and space resources. Hence, an understanding of feeding strategies that optimize resource use and maintain carrying capacity...

Activity-footprints, pressures-footprints and effects-footprints – Walking the pathway to determining and managing human impacts in the sea (2020)
Journal Article
Elliott, M., Borja, A., & Cormier, R. (2020). Activity-footprints, pressures-footprints and effects-footprints – Walking the pathway to determining and managing human impacts in the sea. Marine pollution bulletin, 155, Article 111201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111201

Determining the overall effects of human activities on the estuaries, seas and coasts, as a precursor to marine management, requires quantifying three aspects. These are: (a) the area in which the human activities take place, (b) the area covered by...

European challenges to coastal management from storm surges: Problem-structuring framework and actors implicated in responses (2019)
Book Chapter
Boyes, S., & Elliott, M. (2019). European challenges to coastal management from storm surges: Problem-structuring framework and actors implicated in responses. In I. La Jeunesse, & C. Larrue (Eds.), Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events: A Governance Issue (341-361). Chichester: John Wiley and Sons. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119383567.ch22

A number of studies have investigated the impacts of storm surges at the local or regional scale, with a recent study by Vousdoukas et al. giving projections for Europe for 2010-2040 and 2070-2100. This chapter shows that the North and Baltic Sea coa... Read More about European challenges to coastal management from storm surges: Problem-structuring framework and actors implicated in responses.

Debunking paradigms in estuarine fish species richness (2019)
Journal Article
Waugh, A., Elliott, M., & Franco, A. (2019). Debunking paradigms in estuarine fish species richness. Marine ecology progress series, 613, 125-138. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps12883

The comparison of species complements within and between habitats and geographical areas is a fundamental aspect of ecological assessments. However, many influences resulting from variability in sampling and data analysis often hinder the ability to... Read More about Debunking paradigms in estuarine fish species richness.
