Palaemon is a large genus of marine, brackish and freshwater shrimps and are amongst the most familiar shrimps to scientists and amateur naturalists. Despite being familiar and widely reported they remain understudied. A series of studies was conceiv...

Zonation in a cryptic Antarctic intertidal macrofaunal community (2012)
Journal Article

Despite the general view that the Antarctic intertidal conditions are too extreme to support obvious signs of macrofaunal life, recent studies have shown that intertidal communities can survive over annual cycles. The current study investigates distr... Read More about Zonation in a cryptic Antarctic intertidal macrofaunal community.

Transitional and coastal waters ecological status assessment: Advances and challenges resulting from implementing the European Water Framework Directive (2012)
Journal Article

The derivation, performance, sensitivity and inherent uncertainty of ecological quality indicators have become major topics in developing tools for the management of marine, transitional and coastal waters. In reviewing the advances in these waters,...

A comparative review of recovery processes in rivers, lakes, estuarine and coastal waters (2012)
Journal Article
Verdonschot, P. F., Spears, B. M., Feld, C. K., Brucet, S., Keizer-Vlek, H., Borja, A., Elliott, M., Kernan, M., & Johnson, R. K. (2013). A comparative review of recovery processes in rivers, lakes, estuarine and coastal waters. Hydrobiologia, 704(1), 453-474. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-012-1294-7

The European Water Framework Directive aims to improve ecological status within river basins. This requires knowledge of responses of aquatic assemblages to recovery processes that occur after measures have been taken to reduce major stressors. A sys...

Natural variability and reference conditions: Setting type-specific classification boundaries for lagoon macroinvertebrates in the Mediterranean and Black Seas (2012)
Journal Article
Basset, A., Barbone, E., Borja, A., Elliott, M., Jona-Lasinio, G., Marques, J. C., Mazik, K., Muxika, I., Neto, J. M., Reizopoulou, S., Rosati, I., & Teixeira, H. (2013).

Hydrobiologia, 704(1), 325-345. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-012-1273-z

The ecological status classification of aquatic ecosystems using biological indices requires a number of steps, including the description and standardisation of the indices' natural variability. Here, we address this point with reference to selected...

Setting new thermal standards for transitional and coastal (TraC) waters (2012)
Journal Article
Wither, A., Bamber, R., Colclough, S., Dyer, K., Elliott, M., Holmes, P., Jenner, H., Taylor, C., & Turnpenny, A. (2012). Setting new thermal standards for transitional and coastal (TraC) waters. Marine pollution bulletin, 64(8), 1564-1579. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2012.05.019

The construction of a new generation of coastal power stations in the UK and other western European countries has highlighted the absence of robust standards for thermal discharges to transitional and coastal waters. The proposed discharge volumes ar... Read More about Setting new thermal standards for transitional and coastal (TraC) waters.

Indices, multispecies and synthesis descriptors in benthic assessments: Intertidal organic enrichment from oyster farming (2012)
Journal Article

Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 110, 190-201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2012.05.028

Intertidal off-bottom oyster culture is shown to cause organic enrichment of the shore and although there are two stressors of interest (the presence of a structure, the trestles, and also the sediment and organic waste from the oysters), these can b...

MPA policy: What lies behind the science? (2012)
Journal Article

What the current policy debate on marine protected areas (MPAs) and marine reserves (MRs) has failed to address is the fact that protection of the marine environment has as much to do with scientists, and others values as it has to do with science. T... Read More about MPA policy: What lies behind the science?.

Are the scientific foundations of temperate marine reserves too warm and hard? (2012)
Journal Article

The scientific literature (including some of the most high-profile papers) on the ecological and fisheries effects of permanent no-take marine reserves is dominated by examples from hard tropical and warm temperate ecosystems. It appears to have been... Read More about Are the scientific foundations of temperate marine reserves too warm and hard?.
