© Copyright © 2020 Hope, Hewitt, Pilditch, Savage and Thrush. Benthic diatoms are a high-quality food resource providing essential fatty acids to benthic grazers. Different stressors may alter the proportion of diatoms and other microalgae and thus c...

Effects of Polyester Microfibers on Microphytobenthos and Sediment-Dwelling Infauna (2020)
Journal Article

Microfibers often dominate sediment microplastic samples, but little is known about their ecological effects on benthic organisms and functions. Polyethylene terephthalate) (PET) microfibers were added to 36 sediment chambers at six concentrations (0...

Interactions between sediment microbial ecology and physical dynamics drive heterogeneity in contextually similar depositional systems (2020)
Journal Article
Hope, J. A., Malarkey, J., Baas, J. H., Peakall, J., Parsons, D. R., Manning, A. J., Bass, S. J., Lichtman, I. D., Thorne, P. D., Ye, L., & Paterson, D. M. (2020).

This study focuses on the interactions between sediment stability and biological and physical variables that influence the erodibility across different habitats. Sampling at short-term temporal scales illustrated the persistence of the microphytobent...
