Diatom Biofilms: Ecosystem Engineering and Niche Construction (2021)
Book Chapter
Paterson, D. M. .., & Hope, J. A. (2021). Diatom Biofilms: Ecosystem Engineering and Niche Construction. In R. Gordon, S. A. Cohn, & K. M. Manoylov (Eds.), Diatom Gliding Motility: Biology and Applications (135-158). Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119526483.ch6

Ecology is complex and while there is a modern drive towards a holistic or “ecosystem approach” for managing marine systems, we are still a long way from fully understanding the interactions between the various components of different ecosystems and...

Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology (2020)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Henry, T., Burdett, H., Hackney, C., Waller, C., Parsons, D., & Hennige, S. (2021). Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology. Environmental pollution, 269, Article 116238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.116238

There is evidence that microplastic (MP) pollution can negatively influence coral health; however, mechanisms are unknown and most studies have used MP exposure concentrations that are considerably higher than current environmental conditions. Furthe... Read More about Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology.

A comparison of microplastic contamination in freshwater fish from natural and farmed sources (2020)
Journal Article
Garcia, A. G., Suárez, D. C., Li, J., & Rotchell, J. M. (in press). A comparison of microplastic contamination in freshwater fish from natural and farmed sources. Environmental science and pollution research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-020-11605-2

Contamination of aquatic systems mainly by urbanization and poor sanitation, deficient or lack of wastewater treatments, dumping of solid residues and run off, has led to the presence of particles, including manmade polymers, in tissues of many marin...

Something old, something new: Historical perspectives provide lessons for blue growth agendas (2020)
Journal Article
Caswell, B. A., Klein, E. S., Alleway, H. K., Ball, J. E., Botero, J., Cardinale, M., Eero, M., Engelhard, G. H., Fortibuoni, T., Giraldo, A. J., Hentati-Sundberg, J., Jones, P., Kittinger, J. N., Krause, G., Lajus, D. L., Lajus, J., Lau, S. C., Lescrauwaet, A. K., MacKenzie, B. R., McKenzie, M., …Thurstan, R. H. (2020). Something old, something new: Historical perspectives provide lessons for blue growth agendas. Fish and Fisheries, 21(4), 774-796. https://doi.org/10.1111/faf.12460

The concept of “blue growth,” which aims to promote the growth of ocean economies while holistically managing marine socioecological systems, is emerging within national and international marine policy. The concept is often promoted as being novel; h... Read More about Something old, something new: Historical perspectives provide lessons for blue growth agendas.

The effects of temporary exclusion of activity due to wind farm construction on a lobster (Homarus gammarus) fishery suggests a potential management approach (2018)
Journal Article
Roach, M., Cohen, M., Forster, R., Revill, A. S., & Johnson, M. (2018). The effects of temporary exclusion of activity due to wind farm construction on a lobster (Homarus gammarus) fishery suggests a potential management approach. ICES journal of marine science : journal du conseil, 75(4), 1416-1426. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsy006

Offshore wind farms form an important part of many countries strategy for responding to the threat of climate change but their development can conflict with other offshore activities. Static gear fisheries targeting sedentary benthic species are par...
