Journal Article
Breithaupt, T., Johnson, M., & Katoh, E. (2008). Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus. Behaviour, 145(10), 1447-1464. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853908785765917

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
Johnson, M. L., & Tarling, G. A. (2008). Influence of individual state on swimming capacity and behaviour of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. Marine ecology progress series, 366, 99-110. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps07533

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.

Life strategies of fishes in European estuaries: the functional guild approach (2008)
Journal Article
Franco, A., Elliott, M., Franzoi, P., & Torricelli, P. (2008). Life strategies of fishes in European estuaries: the functional guild approach. Marine ecology progress series, 354, 219-228. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps07203

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.

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...
