Paradigms in estuarine ecology - a review of the Remane diagram with a suggested revised model for estuaries (2011)
Journal Article
Whitfield, A., Elliott, M., Basset, A., Blaber, S., & West, R. (2012). Paradigms in estuarine ecology - a review of the Remane diagram with a suggested revised model for estuaries. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 97, 78-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2011.11.026Most estuarine ecology textbooks have included the so-called Remane diagram which is derived from German studies in the Baltic Sea region during the early part of the 20th Century. The model shows how aquatic species diversity changes from freshwater... Read More about Paradigms in estuarine ecology - a review of the Remane diagram with a suggested revised model for estuaries.
What are the costs and benefits of biodiversity recovery in a highly polluted estuary? (2011)
Journal Article
Pascual, M., Borja, A., Franco, J., Burdon, D., Atkins, J. P., & Elliott, M. (2012). What are the costs and benefits of biodiversity recovery in a highly polluted estuary?. Water Research, 46(1), 205-217. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2011.10.053Biodiversity recovery measures have often been ignored when dealing with the restoration of degraded aquatic systems. Furthermore, biological valuation methods have been applied only spatially in previous studies, and not jointly on a temporal and sp...

Systems research and behavioral science, 28(5), 497-508. https://doi.org/10.1002/sres.1111Ever increasing and diverse use of the marine environment and consequent impacts on marine life, habitats and landscapes make prominent the need for policy and policy-making procedures that promote resilience and sustainability. In this paper, we foc... Read More about Managing the marine environment: is the DPSIR framework holistic enough?.
External actors, high value resources and threatened species: shark fin commodity chains of Northern Madagascar, interception for conservation (2011)
Thesis
Hopkins, C. External actors, high value resources and threatened species: shark fin commodity chains of Northern Madagascar, interception for conservation. (Thesis). Imperial College London. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/2485043Wildlife trade threatens many exploited populations with unsustainable levels of extraction. The shark fin trade is perceived as a primary driver in the decline of many shark populations. The targeting of sharks by local fisheries to feed the demand...

Ecological Indicators, 19, 172-183. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2011.08.024A major goal of current environmental policies is to preserve or return areas to a good ecological status, which should be assessed at the ecosystem level, using several biological elements, together with physical, chemical and pollution elements. Th... Read More about Early life stages of fishes as indicators of estuarine ecosystem health.

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 39(2), 95-101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bse.2011.01.008Integumental gland secretions in lizards have been postulated to play a role as semiochemicals, but few studies have analysed the chemical nature of the gland secretions used in communication. We analysed the femoral gland secretions of Acanthodactyl...
