Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Breithaupt, T., Johnson, M., & Katoh, E. Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus

Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus, live on the bottom of the continental shelf where they construct and defend burrows. Little is known about their agonistic behaviour and potential mechanisms of dominance. This paper investigates fighting behavio...

Influence of individual state on swimming capacity and behaviour of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (2008)
Journal Article

Swarms of Antarctic krill are frequently biased towards certain body sizes, sexes, maturities and physiological states. However, the mechanisms causing such biases remain unclear, with some speculating on differential responses to chemical or visual...

Variability in intertidal communities along a latitudinal gradient in the Southern Ocean (2008)
Journal Article
Waller, C. L. (2008). Variability in intertidal communities along a latitudinal gradient in the Southern Ocean. Polar Biology, 31(7), 809-816. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00300-008-0419-y

Despite being one of the most intensely studied habitat types worldwide, the intertidal region around Antarctica has received little more than superficial study. Despite this, the first detailed study of a single locality on the Antarctic Peninsula r... Read More about Variability in intertidal communities along a latitudinal gradient in the Southern Ocean.

Low heat shock thresholds in wild Antarctic inter-tidal limpets (Nacella concinna) (2008)
Journal Article
Clark, M. S., Geissler, P., Waller, C., Fraser, K. P. P., Barnes, D. K. A., & Peck, L. S. (2008). Low heat shock thresholds in wild Antarctic inter-tidal limpets (Nacella concinna). Cell Stress and Chaperones, 13(1), 51-58. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12192-008-0015-7

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of genes classically used to measure levels of organism stress. We have previously identified two HSP70 genes (HSP70A and HSP70B) in sub-tidal populations of the Antarctic limpet (Nacella concinna). These genes...

Life strategies of fishes in European estuaries: the functional guild approach (2008)
Journal Article

The structure and functioning of estuarine fish assemblages have been analysed using data sets for 38 transitional waters covering all European latitudes, including NE Atlantic estuaries, Mediterranean lagoons and Scandinavian fjords. The fish specie... Read More about Life strategies of fishes in European estuaries: the functional guild approach.

Accurate quantification of the influence of benthic macro- and meio-fauna on the geometric properties of estuarine muds by micro computer tomography (2007)
Journal Article

Accurate quantification of the influence of benthic macro- and meio-fauna on the geometric properties of estuarine muds by micro computer tomography. Journal of experimental marine biology and ecology, 354(2), 192-201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2007.11.006

This paper describes the novel application of high resolution micro computer tomography (microCT) to the quantification of the properties of marine biogenic structures. CT scanning has been used to examine sediments in the past but the resolution of...

As part of the Humber flood defence upgrade works (Urgent works) undertaken by the Environment Agency, the Paull Holme Strays site was identified as one of twelve potential managed realignment sites within the Humber catchment. The site was breached... Read More about Physical and biological development of a newly breached managed realignment site, Humber estuary, UK.

Estuarine, coastal and marine ecosystem restoration: Confusing management and science – A revision of concepts (2007)
Journal Article

This review presents recent concepts, understanding and experience of the restoration, recovery and human-mediated modification of estuarine, coastal and marine ecosystems. It shows that these can be divided into four categories: natural recovery fro...

We report the composition of terrestrial, intertidal and shallow sublittoral faunal communities at sites around Rothera Research Station, Adelaide Island, Antarctic Peninsula. We examined primary hypotheses that the marine environment will have consi... Read More about Ecological contrasts across an Antarctic land-sea interface.
