Linking eye design with host symbiont relationships in pontoniine shrimps (crustacea, decapoda, palaemonidae) (2014)
Journal Article
Dobson, N. C., De Grave, S., & Johnson, M. L. (2014). Linking eye design with host symbiont relationships in pontoniine shrimps (crustacea, decapoda, palaemonidae). PLoS ONE, 9(6), e99505. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0099505

Symbiosis is prevalent in the marine environment with many studies examining the effects of such interactions between host and symbiont. Pontoniine shrimps are a group whose ecology is characterised by symbiotic interactions. This investigation exami...

Are fisheries-dependent communities in Scotland really maritime-dependent communities? (2014)
Journal Article
Jones, E. V., Caveen, A. J., & Gray, T. S. (2014). Are fisheries-dependent communities in Scotland really maritime-dependent communities?. Ocean and Coastal Management, 95, 254-263. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2014.04.025

It is often said that fishing is not a job, but a way of life. The traditions, culture and structure of fishing in coastal communities have been built over the centuries, supporting their development and sustaining their existence (OECD, 2007). Scotl...

Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges (2014)
Journal Article
Hull, S. L., Oty, U. V., & Mayes, W. M. (2014). Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges. Hydrobiologia, 736(1), 83-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-014-1894-5

This study assesses the physical and chemical characteristics of hyperalkaline steel slag leachate from a former steelworks on two streams in England and their impacts on benthic invertebrate communities. Using multivariate methods (CCA), we related... Read More about Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges.

Behavioural effects of hypersaline exposure on the lobster Homarus gammarus (L) and the crab Cancer pagurus (L) (2014)
Journal Article
Smyth, K., Mazik, K., & Elliott, M. (2014). Behavioural effects of hypersaline exposure on the lobster Homarus gammarus (L) and the crab Cancer pagurus (L). Journal of experimental marine biology and ecology, 457, 208-214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2014.04.016

There is scarce existing information in the literature regarding the responses of any marine species, especially commercially valuable decapod crustaceans, to hypersalinity. Hypersaline discharges due to solute mining and desalination are increasing...

Mass mortalities in bivalve populations: A review of the edible cockle Cerastoderma edule (L.) (2014)
Journal Article
Burdon, D., Callaway, R., Elliott, M., Smith, T., & Wither, A. (2014). Mass mortalities in bivalve populations: A review of the edible cockle Cerastoderma edule (L.). Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 150(Part B), 271-280. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2014.04.011

Mass mortalities in bivalve populations have long been of particular concern, especially when the species supports a commercial fishery or is of conservation interest. Here we consider the evidence of mass mortalities of the edible cockle, Cerastoder... Read More about Mass mortalities in bivalve populations: A review of the edible cockle Cerastoderma edule (L.).

A typology of marine and estuarine hazards and risks as vectors of change : a review for vulnerable coasts and their management (2014)
Journal Article
Elliott, M., Cutts, N. D., & Trono, A. (2014). A typology of marine and estuarine hazards and risks as vectors of change : a review for vulnerable coasts and their management. Ocean and Coastal Management, 93, 88-99. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2014.03.014

This paper illustrates a typology of 14 natural and anthropogenic hazards, the evidence for their causes and consequences for society and their role as vectors of change in estuaries, vulnerable coasts and marine areas. It uses hazard as the potentia... Read More about A typology of marine and estuarine hazards and risks as vectors of change : a review for vulnerable coasts and their management.

Cliff top habitats provide important alternative feeding resources for wading birds of conservation importance wintering on non-estuarine coasts (2014)
Journal Article
Furnell, J., & Hull, S. L. (2014). Cliff top habitats provide important alternative feeding resources for wading birds of conservation importance wintering on non-estuarine coasts. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 139, 119-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2013.12.029

Rocky shores and beaches are important over-wintering areas for non-estuarine waders but have rarely been studied. We examined cliff top habitat use by 6 species of wader over 75 km of coast to assess their potential value as alternative feeding site...
